Our trips around the world…
Shit: meet fan.A few travel delays due to weather ended up breaking Will— literally. Let me explain…The day before we were due to leave Larnaca, I tweaked my back. Naturally, it happened while doing something incredibly heroic—putting on my socks. An old rugby injury has left my lower back forever dodgy, and this time it... Continue Reading →
Santorini had long been on Sam’s bucket list, so it felt only right to head there for her birthday. We treated ourselves to a swanky hotel perched above the caldera—though to be fair, almost every hotel in Santorini has a caldera view. The price? A surprisingly modest €50 a night, a far cry from the... Continue Reading →
It's very difficult to convey to others how driving is in other countries. It's completely dependant on what each person is used to, where they've driven, and how they've been taught. That being said, I felt like I'd give it a go. I love driving. In my 20s, I'd go for a drive every chance... Continue Reading →
The drive from Olympia to Delphi was another stunner. Once we had crossed the Gulf of Corinth we had a stop in Nafpaktos for a wander and some lunch before carrying on along the gorgeous coastline on a beautiful day. Like Olympia, we were a little surprised at how small Delphi was. It was a... Continue Reading →
Unlike our drive from Nafplio to Sparti, the next drive to Olympia was relatively uneventful and we arrived in Olympia on a cold and rainy day, 2 hours before our agreed meeting time with the guesthouse owner. In that 2 hours we started exploring the town. 5 minutes later, we had finished. Oh dear. We... Continue Reading →
We had several routes to choose from to get between Nafplio and Sparti. Perhaps unsurprisingly we chose the long route which took us around the Argolic Gulf before cutting inland and proceeding through a mountain pass. The coastal part of the route was beautiful and ran through several postcard perfect villages which demanded several coffee... Continue Reading →
Well tickle me pink and colour me the colour of surprise (let's say highlighter beige with fluorescent green polka dots). We did NOT expect Nafplio to be like it is. Although to be fair, we had no expectations of what it would be like. Located roughly the same distance from both Epidaurus and Mycenae, Nafplio... Continue Reading →
Car day! Road trip! Rrrrooooaaaadddd tttrrriiippp!!!!!! Today was the day we'd been looking forward to for months. Today was the day that the real trip started. Today was the day where we could feel free. Today, we picked up the car for a 2 week road trip. Wooooooooooooo!!!! After an interesting pick up routine (possibly... Continue Reading →
We're big time cat lovers. In fact, whenever we see a cat, we automatically make a beeline towards it in the hope of a cheeky stroke or cuddle (especially Sam!) As it turned out, Greece is a cat lovers paradise. They were everywhere, and the locals all looked after them. On many occasions we saw... Continue Reading →
