My venture

4hrs off in Piraeus...definitely time to go toAthens...and you know what...see the Acropolis again...why...my 3 friends have not seen it...so i thought....hmmm....why not join them....it was hot...but i love the sun...felt so good to be out in the sun...we grabbed a taxi (outside the port) for €10....we almst fell from the chair when we heard the price...so cheap...to Athens...wow...we jumped right in...grabbed the opportunity....once there we were surprised there was no que...bought the tickets...€12 per person...but we had two of us which still had university cards....that means for free....so we ended up all paying €6, what a good a deal....we took it slow....walked around the Acropolis...and we took many many pictures....it was so much fun...of course that is what im going to share with you...all the pics....so here goes.... Before entering Acropolis: Imma, Luna and Blanca Once inside the Acropolis Me infront of Parthenon The four of us The four of us....cool with the Gr

First 2 weeks...not much time to go out....afternoon shift....start around 12 (and as we all know in Greece and Turkey nothing really opens before 10....so, no need to rush out) and then work till like 1630, then the ship leaves...see...no time....but once...yes....once in 2 weeks we managed to get out....in the morning...8....in mykonos we decided to go to the beach and load up on some sun.... It was perfect...cause no need for sun tan lotion as it wasnt so hot...but the sea could have been a little bit warmer.....but...i am not complaining...we got to go to a beautiful beach and without having to sweat....and we did have a lot of fun....jumping in the water, tanning and of course chatting...nice to get out and enjoy....and here are some pics.... Blanca, Imma and me at the beach Blance, Imma, Luna and me Mykonos beach Norwegian Jade And yes....there are a few things which i love about afternoon shift....you are off between like 16:00 and 19:30 so...kim and i get to hav

Hmmmmm....am i slacking...once again...yes.....excuse me...well actually whilst working on the ship i have also taken over doing the books again for the family business....and that is taking some of my "free" time....so yes.....a little busy....but not too busy to stop my blog...just a little slower....we drove back from Tuscany in good time so that we could enjoy Venezia a little....yes, yes...stopped on the way...but this time we made lunch in the car...left over peccorini cheese, toscana salami and wild boar salami (of course crackers)...divine....later a stop for a cappuccino and ice cream (great ice cream...sandwich style...but lets not say anything about the cappuccino), oh well...Company made up for it.... In Venezia we took a water taxi to the Hilton...looooong ride....1h50min....and it was hot...humid...and thus sticky....but i must say....the ride was quite quick cause scenery is nice and we were taking pics....and chatting....so suddenly the Hilton Molino Stucky

Yes yes...its definitely been a while....but i have started a new contract on the ship and first week is always quite busy....so no time...believe it or not...i have signed on 10 days ago and i actually have not had a chance to go outside...i guess it is what you call afternoon shift....oh well....let me go a few steps back and tell you about our trip to the tuscany....kim and i decided to fly in a little before we would start work so that i could show him my favourite place....tuscany...i am an absolute sucker for the tuscany...you know...i actually think i could live there....open a guest house...offer nice breakfast and al fresco dinner....hmmmm.....im in my own little dream world, hahaha....anyway moving on.....we stayed in a little B&B in San Gimignano....well, just outside....very cute (a little bit driving in the dirt road which next time i would research a little better, but otherwise perfecto).....we rented a small fiat and explored the surroundings.....from Volterra to S
