It’s a tough life!
Don’t have much time so will have to keep this one quick. I think the last time I wrote was after the Bulls. Since then I spent 2 nights in Barcelona which was used mostly as a recovery period form Pamplona. I ran into the legend that is Andrew Baxter at the hostel I stayed at so had a couple of beers one night but mostly low key, saw a couple of sights I didn’t see last time I was there and lazed around the beach.
From there I went to Athens for 3 nights. Kate met me on the last day and it was awesome to see her again!! I did all the sights on my first day, and got the WOW factor when I got to the Parthenon (see picture). The Roman Stadium where the first ever Olympics were held was pretty cool too!
Kate and I then left for the Greek Island, Mykinos. Kate stayed for 2 nights then unfortunately I had to say goodbye to her AGAIN as she had to go back to London for work. I stayed another night. Cool Island, just a big party, we spent it laying on the beach during the day then hitting the town at night.
I am now in Ios and have been here 4 nights and have 1 more to go. It’s the perfect destination for a holiday or a footy trip. I’ve experienced the footy trip side of it. Drank every night. Last 2 nights got home after 6am. It’s known as the party Island. Everyone sleeps till 1pm, goes to the beach till about 4pm, then drinks till 6am, and every day is the same. Insane place - loving it.
Off to Santorini tomorrow, meant to be a bit more relaxed there and apparently the most beautiful Island of them all so I’m looking forward to that.
Will email again soon when I find the time between drinking and sleeping. It’s a tough life.
