Rose and I had a great start to our Greek holiday starting with a 2 day trip to Athens. The weather was beautiful, not a cloud in the sky, between 25-27 degrees, we couldn’t have asked for more.

We stayed in the Student Travellers Inn situated in Plaka in the centre of Athens. We walked around most of the sights including the Acropolis, various temples, libraries, columns and parks and got some amazing photos. We ate out both nights and were treated to lovely authentic Greek cuisine.

I didn’t really know what to expect from Greece, but so far my expectations have been exceeded and we are both having a great time. Our next destination is Crete!

Rosana and I are off to Greece for 2 weeks on the 15th Oct. As a surprise anniversary present Rose booked two return tickets to Athens. I was stoked and touched with the gesture.

We are going to plan our itinerary over the next week and book up some accomodation. All we know so far is that we want to go to Athens and Crete and possibly one or two other islands.

I am looking forward to a little late autumn sunshine, taking some pictures and enjoying the scenery, architecture, food and drink and hopefully our first successful holiday together (if things go well we will book up a trip to Brazil early next year for possibly 4-6 weeks – serious surf time me thinks).

Countdown has begun!
