Marble must have been cheap?
Today I was up early and eager to visit the Acropolis. Ryan was tired because he was up late so I let him sleep in a bit before going out for coffee and breakfast. We had avocado toast, which was good but needed salt or hot sauce! There is not a lot of sauce here!…

Assyrt-ing our love of wine.
Today was nice because we were able to sleep in and have a slow to start to the morning. This included espresso and breakfast in bed, followed by reading in the sun on our rooftop. Around 11:30am we headed to Oia again, this time to a winery called Domain Sigalas. We parked and walked into…

Swimming over an active volcano.
We had another breakfast delivered, more bread so we had to tell them no more bread! Everything comes in glass containers that they pick up the next day and re-use, I really like that! Today we are headed sailing. A van picked us up down the road, along with a few other couples and we…

Waking up in Santorini.
I slept hard for 3 hours but woke up around 2am. I couldn’t get back to sleep so I watched Netflix on my phone. Then, I woke up at 8am to a knock on the door, breakfast had arrived! They brought us what I think was Greek yogurt, it was very sweet though. And a…

Ocasa Coffee Farm
I was told it was a 60-minute walk away but that it probably was faster, so I decided to walk, leaving at 3pm. Sooo, I know I was tired, but I was walking at a reasonable pace and yet somehow after 50 minutes the place was still no where in sight. Every few turns you…

Valle de Cocora
I woke up before my alarm courtesy of the dogs and roosters, perks of staying at a hostel with farm in it’s name I guess. I brushed my teeth at the outside sink and was pleased to discover that it was pretty nice out for being only 7am. After breakfast at the hostel (which was…

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good, FLIGHT. Off to Colombia!
I realize it hasn’t even been a full year since I began my first trip and blog post, crazy that it seems so long ago! One of the locations on my list that I didn’t make it to my last time was Colombia. However, I think waiting was a good idea because now I’m heading…

All good things come to an end [beginning].
My last full day. So many emotions! I didn’t have too much time to think about them because I had plans to meet my childhood best friend and her husband for coffee. I picked a cereal cafe because I know how much she loved cereal, it would be reminiscent of the 90s and she was…

Tourist Tax.
Tourist Tax. I think this is a great thing. All the hotels and restaurants benefit from tourists, but many of the public places, i.e landmarks and green areas are only hurt from it. From the wearing down of materials–to trash on the ground, tourists can cause a big mess. I know it would impact my…

Elephant Kisses, not Elephant Rides.
I eagerly woke this morning knowing what was in store for the day, hanging out with elephants! First, was an hour and a half van ride to the North. In the van we watched a video on the history of the Elephant Nature Park which included some heart wrenching videos of elephant mistreatment. They torture…

Oz-ta La Vista!
So long Australia! (Oops I’ve been gone for 6 days but this never posted). It has been wonderful but I can’t say I’m not looking forward to getting my adventure on in New Zealand! What a great day to end on yesterday… I ventured over to Burleigh Beach yesterday with a new friend, Michael. We…
