... s only a two-hour plane trip from Athens. And we'll be following in the footsteps of many Greeks, especially Alexander the Great who of course founded the Egyptian city of Alexandria, and Cleopatra, the last of the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty. I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the thrill of it. I never imagined that I'd get to see Egypt in my lifetime. I'm also cautious. Going into a country where I don't speak a word of Arabic, where I haven't done any ...

... evening, but was happy to get to bed, as had been up since 3am for the flight. The next day, up early we all took the coach to the port to board our cruise ship the Aqua Marine, it wasn't that flash, being built in 1971, but was pretty impressive never the less. We set sailed to our first Island Mykonos, we all disembarked and spent several hours on the Island, checking out the cute ally's with all the shops. I indulged in a white belgium chocolate crepe with ...

... with more angles, it's a Greek sigma, "S". So it reads "DOMINOS," maybe the nickname of the tagger. Because it's so brutally hot, traditional Greek culture includes the afternoon siesta. All the windows have blinds made of heavy wooden slats, and you see all the slats on the street pulled down during nap hours. In the picture below, you can see the brown slats pulled halfway down the window. 3. Now a word about cars. It appears Athenians like to drive very tiny pod-shaped cars ...

... look like in the time of Alexander? Where these building here or are they Roman? What might Alexander have seen or noticed when he came to Athens after the Battle of Chaironea? So, when in doubt about whether to attempt to fit in a visit to one more location or not, we have to consider it from the perspective of her book and our time that's far shorter than we'd like! Well, Tuesday day would have been more dream-like had it been a little less hot ...

... kleinere Badenbuchte, Sand - oder Kieselstrände, einsame oder ausgestattete Strände mit Sportsmöglichkeiten, alle sind genau so schön und anlockent. Die Berge von Euböa, mit der vielfaltigen Flora bieten sich zum Wandern, Bergsteigen, Klettern oder Mountainbike an. Faszinierende Schluchten und Höhle ergänzen die beeindruckende euböische Landschaft. In den Fischerdörfchen sind die leckersten Meeresfrüchtc ...

... huge castle that took ~890 steps to get up. We spent the day walking around the town and headed back in the evening. We waited 4 days to see the Acropolis since it is free on Sundays. We got up early to beat the crowds, and we are very thankful we did. We basically had the site to ourselves for 2 hours before the masses arrived by tour bus around 11. You can't describe in words how huge the site is. The hill towers over the city. For some reason in the 1920's some genius decided to repair ...

Enjoyed a wonderful early morning walk (in cool conditions) around ancient Olympia - place where original Greeks trained in athletics and other sports to show how fit and strong they were. Apparently all sports of the time were carried out nude, hence the various statues always showing the male of the species naked. The area was discovered by a German ...

... ajan ja sivuutin sen saman tien. Siskoparalla on tama valokuvamuisti, ja se viela katsoi UUDESTAAN, oma vika. Purimme jarkytysta parilla viinilasillisella ravintolassa ja ryntaamalla shoppailemaan. Auttoi vahasen. :P mutta elama on, ihan totta. Tuskin maltan odottaa et paasemme su:na Akropolikselle, sunnuntaisin sinne paasee ilmatteeksi ;) Auringonpaisteisia terkkuja kaikille, ja Lasse: pusi pus!! <3 Liisa

... Mecca. I on the other hand, kindly asked the ever so charming desk clerk to call ahead to another hostel to see if there was vacancy before I crossed town by myself in the middle of the night, to which I got a disgruntled look of surprise and a heavy sigh. A greek telephone conversation later, he waved me out the door with the map he had given me begrudgingly saying they were waiting for me. Half an hour later, I walked into the Traveller's Inn to an embittered "what do you want ...

... we approach the harbor. We can't get off the boat until Captain Hassan has all of our passports stamped and cleared with Greek immigration, and we're all chomping at the bit. Little streets rise from the water, lined with shops, restaurants, tavernas. Captain Hassan has to park the boat, something that I never ...
