Amsterdam – Lots of walking
Day 11, Sunday 1 May – Chilling back at the park, pancakes, cheese and wine As per our previous post, we intended to take it really easy on Sunday. As it turned out, we had walked 15.17Km on Saturday – we believed we deserved a rest! After a lazy morning we decided that it would … Continue reading Amsterdam – Lots of walking
Amsterdam – Biggest day ever!
We landed in Amsterdam at 7:30pm local time. We’re now 8 hours behind Australia. Before leaving the plane we immediately put on our jumpers, knowing it would be pretty cold. That did not prepare us well for the actual cold that was about to hit us. We got off the plane and made our way … Continue reading Amsterdam – Biggest day ever!
Greece – Packing, Pastries, and Ports
We sluggishly got out of bed, having drank a bit too much wine coupled with the weight of acknowledging today was the day we say goodbye to Santorini. We packed our suitcases and checked out. We found out that the hotel allowed us to leave our bags secure at reception and our stay included a … Continue reading Greece – Packing, Pastries, and Ports
Greece – Sights, Seafood, and Sunsets
In the morning we decided we would extend the ATV hire for another day, so that we could drive South to Akrotiri and the lighthouse at the southern end of Thira. We lounged around for a while in our hotel room, recovering from the big day yesterday. We made our way to the market around … Continue reading Greece – Sights, Seafood, and Sunsets
Greece Day Five – Wine, Wind and Winding Roads
We woke to the sounds of the donkeys’ hooves above our heads. Our hotel is in a cave-like structure and we figured the path must run directly above our bed. We got dressed and went to our hotel reception where we organised the hire of an ATV (quad bike). For €25 a day you can … Continue reading Greece Day Five – Wine, Wind and Winding Roads
Greece Day Four – Sea Salt and Springs
Last night we planned to have dinner on the edge of Fira and watch the sunset. Unfortunately Chantal wasn't feeling too well and we decided to grab a Gyro and head back to the hotel. Gyro's are what we call in Australia Souvlakis. After a great night's rest and finally feeling like we'd beaten our … Continue reading Greece Day Four – Sea Salt and Springs
A recap of what we’ve learnt in Greece
The following is a quick summary of what we've found in Greece: Google Maps allows you to save locations offline onto your phone. This is a godsend when you’re out and about with no idea where you are and with no internet connection available. You can load the maps, use the GPS, and even search … Continue reading A recap of what we’ve learnt in Greece
Greece Day Three – Beautiful Scenes and Ice Creams
This morning started with a shock when a nice employee knocked on the door to our cabin, softly speaking Greek… at ten to four this morning. I have never seen Chris get out of bed that fast ever before – we had thought that we missed the arrival to Santorini. After we had frantically got … Continue reading Greece Day Three – Beautiful Scenes and Ice Creams
Greece Day Two – The Ferry and Food
We woke up at midnight on 22 April and realised that we missed dinner. We’d planned to have dinner and drinks at the top of our hotel while looking onto the Acropolis. It’s meant to be quite beautiful at night and for my birthday it seemed like quite a nice way to spend the night. … Continue reading Greece Day Two – The Ferry and Food
