The final 10 days of our trip are here… hard to believe!

So, we arrived in Athens on the 7th of September, with a warm welcoming by an old friend… Maria. My family and I had met her family several years back on the island of Mykonos. We met Maria after leaving Mykonos and going to Athens on the way home. This was over 15 years ago. Anyway, 15 years later she met us at the Athens airport. We stayed with her at her place and caught up.

On the second day in Athens I was not feeling that great. On the train (metro) to downtown Athens, I blacked out and stopped breathing. I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance… so needless to say, this day was a write off. Don’t worry folks, I am fine now!

We caught a boat on the 10th to Milos, a small, quite island in the Greek Cyclades. We rented dune bugees and explored the many beaches and sights of the island.

On the 12th, we caught another boat to Santorini from Milos. Santorini is just as beautiful as I remember. Maria met us in Santorini and will be leaving tonight to go back home. We plan to meet her and her family again on our last night in Athens before heading home. In Santorini we have met up with many old friends that I have not seen in over 9 years now. Every morning we go to Mama’s for breakfast, as this is tradition.

Tomorrow we head to Naxos, the second to last island before heading back to the mainland and heading home to Victoria.

10 days to go… WOW!
