Today we had planned the classic walk of the area: 16 kms down the Vikos gorge. We are always a little sceptical of these ‘popular’ walks, can they live up to expectation?
Greece
Back where we belong
We have been looking forward to this for a while, and with the problems of Dora behind us, we can once again relax in the mountains.
Young, lively, buzzy; we must be in Ioannina
Dora’s system has been sorted, which is a great relief. David has once again been a really good help. We can now relax and enjoy Ioannina.
West, south, north….who knows
Looking at the map last night we realised maybe our direction was a little bit off. The coastal road would have been much quicker, but still we are in no hurry and it gives us the opportunity to drive through some more mountain scenery.
Go west
Not the most beautiful of sites to sleep, a left over bit of road, now redundant once the new one had been constructed.
Gambling on a good walk
Just north of Athens lies a national park. After two days of intensive sightseeing and culture, it would be good again to stretch the legs.
A city can also be relaxing
Today is our second – and sadly, our last – day in Athens. Today will be quite different from yesterday; we won’t spend so much time in museums, but we will spend more time outdoors, enjoying other activities that the city offers.
Come paddle with us
Our little kayaks, Barca and Barco, have travelled a long way with us, been on many adventures and hopefully a lot more, so we thought we would tell you a little more about them.
Selfies in Athens
There is a craze we have noticed, the annoying craze of selfies and it is infecting the tourist population. And to facilitate this craze you need a new gadget, a stick.
In the old days…
‘Cualquier tiempo pasado fue mejor’ (in English: the past was always better). This old Spanish saying describes the impression I had when I entered the Athens Acropolis.
