Back in Greece

We left the spa at 6 am this morning to catch 2 busses, our final destination Thessaloniki. This is where we are right now, waiting for the overnight train to Athens.

It's hot in Greece but not as hot as it was in Montenegro. I already went to fetch the auntie's suitcase, so we sitting biding our time. The auntie is reading a novel that another travel angel, Kerry Plath (not family of Sylvia Plath) from Minnesota, USA gave me on the bus trip through Macedonia. Kerry was working for the Peace Corps for the last 2 years teaching first graders English. She was on her way to meet her parents in the Ukraine for a little holiday. She renewed her contract for another 6 months because she loved it so! I just think that people doing volunteering work is lank cool!!

I want to redo the Albania and Macedonia bit by car, although I will need a lot of angels to protect me as the drivers from there obey no traffic rules, they drive like crazy!

I do love Bulgaria and Romania! These two countries stole my heart! And the auntie says start saving money because next year September we will be back...

The luggage depot at Thessaloniki is now completely closed down, nobody to fight with today. Even the chapel has a sign to say, sorry we are closed, so no more blessings for the weary traveller.

We are sitting in a restaurant with aircon, these days a prerequisite.

I cannot believe that we left SA nearly six weeks ago! It feels like yesterday! The sunflowers are starting to blossom, and the wheat has been harvested! A lot happens in 6 weeks.

Verkenner Hennop has done the Houdini again, mom is worried because he did not say where he was going! A station is not very big though! He comes back with a bag of dried figs!

We have one day free and I am thinking of dumping the luggage at the hotel in Athens and then off to Corinth, on the train!
