Ah Meteora...
Thank you for the kind words...was so glad we went, two colleagues of mine used to live in Greece and both recommended it, so we dropped one island and toured inland instead, absolutely fantastic...hope to return some day and spend more time at Meteora, the monasteries were fabulous...jealous of your three weeks!
