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

A trip around Athens and the greek islands... Before the fires... :-(

Vandaag zouden we een vrije dag hebben op het eiland Hydra. Dit hield natuurlijk allereerst in dat we konden uitslapen en gezien de tijdstippen waarop iedereen zijn/haar kooi uitkwam werd dat wel gewaardeerd. Na een gezamenlijk ontbijt en de afwas ging ik, samen met nog drie anderen, de berg op naa…
