Woolly says – Our train from Athens departed exactly on time although finding our seats proved a tad more bothersome, being British we just plonked ourselves down in the first two we came to only to be told that we were sat in someone else’s seat at which point it dawned on us that it was allocated seating.

Monasteries on Mountains
Oh Meteora, one of my favorite places--so glad you visited! Amazing how those monasteries were built on such high rocks so long ago. Pretty amazing too those rock climbers scaling those sheer rocks. What a fine adventure!
