We woke to grey , drizzly skies today so I was pleased that I had planned today as a Museum day. The breakfast buffet was excellent, all the usual things and a few Swedish extras. Neil added a pile of meatballs to his plate before he realised they were soy…
A few days ago Aegean Airlines had sent an email offering the option to bid on an upgrade. We’d received similar emails on our other flights but didn’t think it was worth it on the very short island flights. However , our flight from Athens to Stockholm would be 4…
The sky was pink over the Meteora cliffs this morning. We weren’t awake particularly early, it’s just that the sun doesn’t rise until after 7.30 here now. Erin decided to grab her breakfast at the cafe we had eaten lunch yesterday, so we collected her there after we checked out…
We had a mission at breakfast this morning, to swipe food for Erin. Her guesthouse booking does not include breakfast and as we were all booked on a tour we had promised to provide her with brekky from our buffet! She got biscuits, cheese and spinach pastry, an apple and…
We had early tickets to the Delphi Museum and Site this morning which meant an alarm going off at 7. Neil had to prod me as I slept through it! The view down the mountain was pretty and pink. We coordinated our departure times and picked up Erin at her…
It was a little sad to leave Nafplion, we have all loved the town. The sun was glowing on Bourtzi Fortress with snow on the mountains behind it this morning. However, at 9.30 Erin arrived at our hotel, a little breathless from carrying her bags up the hill! Neil walked…
Erin didn’t end up walking up to the fortress because her leggings were still wet from being laundered yesterday and she didn’t fancy walking in shorts in 13 degrees! Can’t say I blame her So, after breakfast we set out to drive up the steep road to the Palamidi…
The sky was bright when we woke with just a few pink clouds in the sky. We walked down to meet Erin at her hotel at around 9.40 . On the way, we passed the cutest little arrangement for a kitten house before we found an Erin sitting on the…
It was great to see an improvement in the weather this morning, still cool and a bit breezy but so much better than yesterday. We had arranged to pick Erin up at the gate of her hotel at 9.30, so we had plenty of time to try a new breakfast…
Well the good weather deserted us today. The rain was persistent overnight and we put our raincoats on to go down to breakfast, which this time we are inside. We needed to call the golf cart to collect us and our luggage and we had a drier ride than expected…
For once I’m not starting off with a breakfast picture. I’ll only mention that I tried the Oak honey and the honeycomb on my toast and the latter was wonderful! Think I’ll have to see if I can find it at home. Today we explored the nearby town of Rethymno.…
After last night’s very busy buffet we decided to get down to breakfast early this morning, a good move! We sat outside on the deck and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The breakfast spread was amazing, the best we have come across so far. It’s a bit frustrating that you can’t sample…
