It's been a month since we did our holiday last December. I promised myself that I must blog about our travel this time. There is just so much to share about our adventures, the people we met and the off beaten tracks we took - all that 16 days in Greece!
Yes, we picked Greece as our year end holiday destination. So...why Greece? Oh well, the travel channels on tv got me influenced,
the pictures had me captivated and the history had me all intrigued.
Good enough reason to actually go see the real thing, yes?
Of that 16 days in this beautiful country, we were not disappointed. Each place we stopped was memorable and gorgeous. Greece is a country that is not only beautiful with its ocean landscapes, distinct
architecture and delectable food, but it was "some what" affordable.
More stories in other postings. But for now, I shall let some of the pictures do the talking.
