Greece

It was a bit quite around here. Sorry, we were in Greece on holidays and in the week before that I had my nose to the grindstone and was burning the midnight's oil. I have no idea when I found time to breath.

In Greece, we were on Sithonia, a peninsula in the north-western Aegean Sea. We were a party of eight at the house of fabulous Tina's family It's located close to the shore of the sea in a picturesque town. If you hurried, you could be swimming within 2 minutes.



Our holidays coincided with Toño's birthday. This was very practical. We didn't had to invite any guests. They were already there.



We were not only celebrating and swimming, Toño also organised a wine tasting in one of the best wineries of Greece. The tour and tasting took an entire afternoon. After that we went for an early dinner that lasted till midnight, followed by mojitos at the bar for the ones still able to stand upright. The hotel was excellent and the breakfast left no wishes unsatisfied. And the best of it, everything was covered by the winery. More about their excellent wine later.



We definitely had a good time.

Many thanks for the wonderful time we have spent in Greece. Your company, our friends, the air, the deep blue sky, the gentil and quiet sea made out of these holidays a very, very great time, which I have enjoyed a lot.

Tina looks like a greek goddess.

oh oh oh - now that's a great excuse for not being around!!! Happy belated bday Tono.

And wow - now that seems like paradise. I'm in need of visiting at least California but alaas, I'm stuck until things get better here for me. (At least Tono is able to leave the country!!!)

Ok - so I'll try to look on the brighter side now..

The wine tour sounded most excellent.. Yeah... Fun!
