Hi!
What can I say about Greece? White houses with blue shutters, old man Stavros sitting in front of his taverna, stray cats lazing in the sun, cake in the morning with breakfast, Ouzo with supper, warm calm waters, bright red sunsets, rows and rows of olive groves with zorba the greek playing in the background while we drove around the island about 20 times!
It was an wonderful experience and I am still nostalgic about our little island - Milos. Milos is an special island in the Aegean sea close to Santorini. It is the birthplace of Venus the Milos and has the most beautiful beaches. The one side of island, called Kleftiko can only be reached by boat. The local people were friendly and even knew a little bit of Afrikaans! We visited Athens as well, and saw the magnificent Akropolis and Zeus's temple. We strolled through Plaka - a bustling area close to the Akropolis through the various little shops and had souvlaki with raki at one of the many tavernas!
We ended our holiday off with 8 hours in Egypt. What a country! We thought we wouldn't come out there alive. The taxidriver was driving like an maniac and the next thing we knew we were on camelback heading towards the mysterious Pyramids of Giza. We met Ali there, our tourguide and he told us the history of the pyramids. After trying to bribe me to trade my sister in for 3 camels for him as an second wife and a trip to the Papyrus museum we arrived safely back to the airport with a hole in our pocket.
All ended well, and we feel fortunate to have had such a wonderful experience!
We would like to go back there one day, and would recommend it to anyone!
With love,
The couple
