David and I shopped a little in the morning and stopped by the ferry office to check on any ferries to Mykonos.... We were surprised to find the next ferry would leave the next day in the afternoon and would take hours.....  We decided to fly.... but it meant we would arrive in the late night …

The First day was Friday, no, not the 13th! But arriving very early on the airport in Rotterdam and viewing the timetable it looked like the 13th! The holiday’s in Holland were starting so they advised people to leave home early enough. And that is exactly what we did. Early! We had to check i…

Added some more Banana Hammock Pics. I found some others that I deemed worthy of an entry. Enjoy!   Tried to load my last pictures three times and the server is redirecting me. I will add these pics and the pics from first class when I arrive home! Sorry but I really tried.   Here I …

We woke up early in the morning because of a strong wind going. At first I looked out of the window to check the weather. If you're from northern Europe and used to bad weather you expect the sun's always shining in Greece - lol. There were only a few clouds but it was still cool due to the wind. W…

Today it’s the day of going home, already! This week went really fast and I’m even more tired than before! I was really feeling terrible because I had to fly again, and was still scared of the landing on Heraklion. But we had lovely neighbors (women and a sweet girl of 3 years old) so I didn’…

Friday was bittersweet. I had to say goodbye to new friends, but I was excited to start the next part of my journey. The morning began by getting half of my clothes washed at a laudromat (the other half I did later in the hotel bathtub). Then us girls went to Monastiraki to have souvalaki. After pa…

The scenery on the Santorini volcano is just breathtaking. I am sitting on the terrace in front of the hotel room on the highest point of the caldera, admiring the magnificent views on Ia and Thirasia... Its great to be back on this island even if as I expected, in August it is quite hot and crowde…

Meteora means hanging in mid air: They are Cenobitic monasteries    The unusual mountain structures were formed long ago by water from the Pindus Mountains which melted and carried away the limestone portions leaving tall mountains 1000 feet (300 meters) taller than the surrounding…

From the time we left Istanbul, we had almost 24 hours before we reached our first island, Mykonos.  Because of that, we had a very relaxed, enjoyable morning on the cruise ship.  We slept in a bit, got breakfast at the buffet, and bummed around for a while.  They had some event…

Greece - one of the most romantic places in the World ;)

Sydney is such a great place to visit. Opera house by the harbour is very lively from daylight, and even more fun at night. Enjoy the music by the Opera House,see the wave splashing,and look up the stars at night while you're having your dinner.

It was our last day and we were very sad because we had to leave. Our flight was at night and we still had the whole day to do something. Since we had to leave our hotel room at 12 pm we packed our bags after breakfast and asked at the reception if we could leave it there until we would drive to th…

On the plane ride home I made a list of everything I will miss in Athen...Kiosks...for those late night coke light cravings and battery necessities when your camera diesPita bakes...what more could you ask for in a snack food?Souvlaki...Americans may try, but shall never succeedRuins...stupid not o…

Today was the first time that we booked transportation through the cruise line. We were told that the harbor was too far from the old city of Corfu to walk and so we booked the shuttle bus to old Kerkyra for about 8 Euros/person. The bus took us all the way to the Palaio Frourio, or old fortress. T…
