Efcharistó Elláda kai Antío

Once again, on Friday, I enjoyed my time at Agia Marina Beach. My last opportunity for a dip in the warm waters of the Aegean Sea and to soak up the sunbeams.
Saturday morning at 1120 hours, the AERO 2 HIGHSPEED whisked me away from the island, back to the chaos of Piraeus. Walked to the Metro Station to catch the train into central Athens, getting off at Evangelismos, about 800m from the Zappion Hotel where I stayed overnight. In order to sort out what to check in and what to carry on, unpacked and repacked everything. I only ventured out to eat before a very early night.
Late on Sunday morning, my very good friend Helen, who lives in Athens, came and picked me up from the hotel. It had been 5 years since our last get-together, and we spent the day having an awesome catchup at her home until she dropped me off to take the Metro to Athens Airport. From the time I left my hotel in Athens on Sunday morning, until I arrived at my home in Whanganui on Tuesday afternoon, I had been on the move for 44 hours 🙃
I know many people have enjoyed following my journey. Since 1973, a big part of my life has been spent in Greece. This was just the latest chapter. THANK YOU, GREECE, AND FAREWELL. 🇬🇷💙❤️
