back from the land of Gods and Goddesses

Wow 16 days (2 for travel) in Greece.  We arrived in Athens, stayed in a hotel that gave us the view of the Acropolis the minute we opened the curtains. Two days of exploring the city and then off on a tour to the Mereora and the monsastries and nunneries.  If ever you want to experience a quiet, serene and sacted place, then the Meteora is the place to go! Very special experience indeed!
Back in Athens for a night and then an early morning flight to Mykonos - the city of all kinds of people, small alleyways, breathtaking views and delicious ice cream! Three nights spent there and then on to Santorini.  We first took a ferry to Pathos and then a sea jet to Santorini - another experience!  After winding our way up the mountain and getting stuck in a traffic jam of busses, we arrived at our cave house, home for the next few days.  Santorini is all that the pictures say it is.  Lots of white walls and deep blue sea.  Fantastic food, great sunrises and sunsets and a surprise helicopter flip aroung the island while sipping on Moet.  Left Santorini with a sad heart, back to Athens for some quick afternoon and early morning shopping before we boarded the plane back to Dubai and ultimately South Africa and Australia.

This is certainly an experiece that everyone needs to go on.  It somehow takes you back to your roots and makes you think of who you are as well as what you would like to achieve in your life. Are the little things important? No, look at the bigger picture and that is what you need to aim for!
