Thessaloniki, Greece, Europe I got up today and got all my stuff ready to move on from Meteora. As much as I loved it there, I have to get a move on and head north. I had breakfast at the hotel and then got a bus over to Trikala. I had to wait there for about a half hour and then get another bus to Thessaloniki. It was a full bus and I had an assigned seat in the worst…
Kalambaka, Greece, Europe Today was an absolutely brilliant day! It was just one of those days where everything seemed to go right. I like those days. It started out with a 7:30am wake up call, breakfast at 8am with Sheila and Rob downstairs at the hotel, and then a bus from Kalambaka up to Meteora. The bus was scheduled to pick us up from Central Square at 9am and it showed up at 9:20am, but that was no big deal….
Kalambaka, Greece, Europe Today was a long day of travelling, but I met some great people, so that helped a lot. I checked out of my hotel in Delphi at 9:30am and went down to the “bus station” down the street. I got my ticket for €9.10 to Lamia. I went outside to some cafe seats to wait for the bus which was coming at 10am and a lovely American couple invited me to sit with them. Sheila and Rob…
Delphi, Greece, Europe I had an early start today with my 6am wake up call to get ready to go. I left my hotel at 6:45am to get to the bus station and hoped I would be able to get a ticket to get to Delphi without a problem. Lucky for me, it wasn’t too busy so I got the 7:30am bus and it was a pretty easy 3 hour ride to Delphi. I walked around the small town for…
Athens, Greece, Europe So they weren’t kidding. On Easter, everything in Athens in shut! It made for a very quiet day for me, but that was okay. I chilled at the hotel and watched a few episodes of Entourage, and looked ahead at where to go next. I’m getting a bus to Delphi tomorrow morning, and then I think I’m going to head up to Meteora. I left the hotel a couple of times just to take a walk and…
Athens, Greece, Europe Today was a busy day, but a really good day. I’m glad I decided to spend another day in Athens. This city is nicer than I remember it being. This morning was a bit of a rough start at Zeus Hostel. It was really cold last night and there was no heat in the room, so it was pretty uncomfortable to sleep in. I got up at 7:30am to get a sharp start to the day and…
Athens, Greece, Europe I’ve been on the road for about a month now, but today feels like the beginning of a whole new trip. Before I left Edinburgh I had the first few weeks of my trip planned out. Except for a few changes, I stuck to the plan as I had already booked almost everything (flights, accommodation, etc). As of today, the next travel plan I have booked is my flight from Madrid to Havana on 15 July. Until…
