Greece 2026

Heading to the sunny islands, or so we thought!  We arrived by bus into Thessaloniki (top of the country) and spent some time there checking out the ruins (that are literally scattered everywhere through the city) and enjoying a bit of sunshine at the beach ~30km out of the city for a few days.  

Add in Athens, Milos (where the Jamieson family joined us), Paros and Santorini.  We did have sunshine, but we also had torrential rain, gale force winds, lightening and thunderstorms as well, like we've never experienced anywhere other than Asia previously.  In saying that we still managed an awesome boat trip, a traditional plate smashing dinner and plenty of walking and seeing the sites.

The best part was being on the other side of the world with our besties.  Too many times we've imagined being able to share our travels with our friends, and this was the beginning of an awesome couple of weeks together, that will end in Turkey.
