Antonios Olympia

... my Mom on Saturdays, my Dad on Sundays and Nicolas on Fridays. But this just makes me feel like I need the bad girl that's locked somewhere inside me.
I made my decision... I'm going to be in "Fireflies" and I'm going to make sure that we're very successful so we can travel around the country. I already got it ...

... entry into the Olympic stadium. The temple of Hera is where today’s modern Olympic torch is lit to start its round the world trip leading up to each of the modern Olympic Games.

The promenade leading to the athletes’ entrance to the stadium is lined with the remains of old stone statues depicting the image and name every competitor ever caught cheating in the ancient games. This was meant to be the last thing an athlete ...

... There was also a more extensive gymnasium and 'training grounds' than other sites, as well as a water supply building with a water basin and fountain. Once you get past all the buildings, there is the entrance to the stadium. Now it is open, with only a single arch connecting the once-was tunnel that the athletes would run through at the start of the games. The stadium itself is 192 meters long--the longest in history--and is set into the hillside so that all could ...

... Every piece of scenery here was a work of art. My photo did not do enough justice to the beauty I witnessed. "In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful." - Alice Walker The Cathedral at Patra wa s a clear reflection of the religious nature of the Greek society. The ...

... seen! 2 large beers, lemonade, 2 x gooood cheeseburgers with fries, chicken wings (of course) and nachos. The whole lot came to about £12. Not bad. We'll have to go there when we return to Seattle later in the month! After we returned to the hotel, I met Kelly, an Aussie girl who was also doing the Canadian Trek. We were just chatting when she received a text about Steve Irwins death. I was truly gutted, and rushed upstairs to tell Nik. We then watched the news to ...

... Seattles main attraction - the Space Needle which is in fact teeny!!!! We explored the area round it which is like a great big theme park - great if you are rich.... Then we decided we were hungry...but as it was happy hour decided a beer would be a good appetiser! Went back to our fav eatery but as it was Sunday and we are dumb...it was closed! So even though we knew we would end up in Macdonalds we wandered for ages looking for an alternative...all the while Amy's ...

... so hard!! We kept that site for another couple of nights and then moved back from the ridge to shelter from the increasing winds. The next couple of days were spent biking, hiking and of course windsurfing. I did a great ride one day with a massive 11.5 mile uphill. The ride was suposed to take 4-6 hours but I managed it in 3.5 which was cool. However when I got back to the car park K was no where to be found. It turns out she had walked and got lost on a single trail ...

Every adventure should begin with a last meal. Ours was at the Harvest Vine, our favorite restaurant in Seattle. We've been enjoying this small slice of Basque and Spanish Cuisine since shortly after the Harvest Vine opened its doors. We got to know the owners, Joseba and Caroline through countless wine dinners. We could think of no other place where we would prefer to be ...
