... on the ticket so we got back on and made our way to the yacht club. Shirley and Don brought their Pass Christian Yacht Club membership card and got us in with an upfront but polite request. Fantastic!! The club officials were somewhat reticent but gracious. The scenery from the outdoor dining area was breathtaking. We ordered wine. It was our first Greek wine. It was fabulous (or as Billy Crystal would say ...
Piraeus, Greece sunset_traveler... stuffed eggplant, and the omnipresent feta cheese (each place had its own different style of cheese). Goat was another common meat on most menus which we tried several times and enjoyed. Along the coasts and in the islands we found squid and octopus prepared grilled, fried, or in vinegar to be very common. <br><br>In Crete we found “mountain snails” on most menus. They were large snails still in the shell that were sautéed in wine, vinegar, and herbs. They were ...

Piraeus, Attica, Greece marinagre2Today I'm travel weary and ache all over from running up and down hills, so I threw a tantrum and demanded a slow day, which we spent in various food places and sitting in the middle of the main square, trying not to have things sold to us. While trying to sleep on a park bench I started looking around and pondering the word European. I was thinking about the kuffuffle on the New Zealand census papers and people insisting they weren't Pahkeha but "New ...
Piraeus, Attica, Greece bubba_oliver... the first time, it's like a dream. And we found our way to the Agora for the afternoon, another dream come true. While she is seeing these places and having a lot of "wow" responses to them, she's very knowledgeable about the Classical era and is, in fact, in Greece doing some research for an historical fiction she wants to write that's set during the time of Alexander the Great. So a lot of what she wants to see is very focused: what did this ...
Athens, Greece melissagquest... first port of call was to climb up to the Parthernon on top of the Acropolis, thank goodness the weather was warm and not blazing hot. Lovely views of the city and the site was very busy and interesting. We then had a Greek lunch, fresh salad and Calamari most enjoyable. We then had a wander around and ended up outside the Parliament building in time for the changing of the guard, which was something out of the ordinary (see pics). We ...
Piraeus, Greece queenvictoria... people. We rarely saw any skinny dogs and they were super friendly. Our first stop on the walking tour was the temple of Olympian Zuess. There wasn't much remaining of the original site, but it was pretty impressive regardless. Hadrians Arch was built nearby to honor Hadrian for finishing the temple. Next we went to the original Olympic stadium. It was a spectacular building, but now only used on the rare occasion... the theme in Greece. Then we went through the national gardens which are ...

Athens, Greece travellingbum... possible with tangential excursions to Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Italy and France before we returned back to Paleo Psichico and begin packing, eventually with the help of my son who was completing his obligatory army duty by the end of August. I did design the route but my devoted secretary Orthodoxia Matsi checked and re-checked everything, sent and ...
