Back from GR

My holidays in Greece are history and I’m back in London since last night. With all my personal belongings this time! (almost all… my new favourite smart jacket is still somewhere in an empty house in central Greece). Undoubtedly, I had a great time in all the places I visited. My only concern is the fact that due to practical difficulties I didn’t meet many of the friends I really wanted to see this time (especially Anda and Kostas… if you read these lines). The new thing in these holidays has a name: Sarah. My friend, course-mate and iColleague who came to visit me in Athens for the last 5 days of my stay there. Showing mainly Athens to a foreigner through the perspective of an Athenian was something I was looking forward to since the moment that Sarah suggested coming to Greece back in February. The whole process turned out to have much more fun than I’d have expected. Along with Sarah, I also had a great time, especially cause I spent many hours close to the beautiful west coastline of Attika. And believe me, what I really miss since I moved to London is not the Greeks or the food, but some wine the sea and the sun. A daily trip to Hydra was also the highlight of Sarah’s visit to my home country. And along with that a sunburn (which I hope it turns to a discrete tan in the next days). Probably Sarah should comment here with her impressions from her journey… but from what I know two things made her good impression; the men and the food… and the order is probably not random cause as she is a vegetarian she didn’t have the chance to eat many of the infamous dishes of the greek cuisine.

I could write many many things as always about the last 10 days but as is usually the case I won’t do it. lol. I’ll just put here a few of the photos I shot with my new present (thanks a lot). Enjoy…

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Nice things are soon to follow. And returning home feels always so pleasant even after leaving back all these beautiful places. First day at work tomorrow! Hooray…

    These photos are great, like postcards! They make Greece look even more lovely than I remember.
    Thanks for being a great tour guide. And I was sorry to leave all those nice men behind.
