Off to Mykonos and we are both very excited, we found the ferry no problem and it was very well organised, you took your luggage to the guy loading it and he stuffed it onto a pallet, Pam’s went into a special box as she told him it was fragile. Following the stream of other passengers we headed to the upper deck and found a table by the window to base ourselves from, being a 6 hour trip we wanted a good seat. The vibe on the boat was just great with everyone off to one or other of the islands, our trip takes in Syros first, then Tinos and finally Mykonos. It was mayhem at the stops as the ferry which I must mention is huge, 4 passenger levels, at least two car and freight ... read more

τώρα τι σίτι μπρέικ είναι αυτό στην Αθήνα....άλλο θέμα. Αν αναλογιστείς όμως ότι, το σίτι μου είναι το Λονδίνο και η καθημερινότητα μου μέχρι πρόσφατα 10 ώρες δουλειάς, 2 ώρες ταξίδι, 2 ώρες γιογκα, 2 ώρες Πάνος, 1 ώρα ιντερνετ και 7 ώρες επαναφόρτιση. Ε τότε ναι, η Αθήνα είναι το σιτι μπρέικ μου. Όπως και να' χει καλωσήλθατε στο μπαλκονάκι της Άρνης 9. Τέσσερις με άνεση δεν κάθονται, αλλά η ζεστασιά δε σου λείπει. Κούκλα η Αθήνα. Και αν δεν έχει να βρεις... ψάχνεις, δεν ψάχνεις. Πάρτο από το Μουσείο της Ακρόπολης και δώσε συγχαρίκια και ρισπεκτ στον αρχιτεκτονικό τιμ. Όποιος πήγε και γύρισε το κεφάλι δεξιά καθώς στάθηκε στον τελευταίο όροφο βλέποντας αρχαίο οριτζινάλ και νέο τότε μαλλον θα συμφωνήσει μαζί μου.Ακρόπολη. Μια ομορφιά.

Well folks in case you thought I had dropped off the face of the Earth – well no, just went from Turkey to Greece for only a few hours really. Had intended to spend the night on Kos, the 2ndlargest Greek Island not far from Bodrum in Turkey en route to Athens. But the afternoon boat on Sunday was sold out so found a nicer pansyon to spend my final night in, with a sea view no less. Then the 9.15am catamaran on Monday to Kos, where I had almost 12 hours to fill until overnight ferry to Piraeus/Athens at 9.50pm, which I managed. I had a berth in a 3 bed cabin but only 2 of us so quite comfortable – and better than a night sleeping upright as in planes/buses that’s for sure. Now ... read more
