Thessaloniki

Vergina is where the royal tomb of Philip the second is, first a visit to the museum, then the tomb then lunch at local taverna. The museum was ok very bright and cool but worth a look. The tomb is a large mound with three tombs in it, all very dark and not too dissimilar to the Egyptian tombs the finds inside the tombs are certainly breathtaking and well displayed, the tavern is literally a short stroll away and considering the furnace has been ratcheted up I'm glad, yet another cool iced tea, sour cherry and bergamot 😋Les mer

Had a really nice breakfast then went to see catacombs of st John, but couldn't get in ...no shorts rule, so will have to try another day 🫣
Well blow me down, I've discovered the metro, very clean and could have saved me a long walk yesterday lol.
Came out of metro and into the market, then walked down the street only to find the road blocked off by the association of car mechanics and painters protesting against the govt taxes, well they certainly jammed the high street up!
It's time for tea so found a nice taverna, believe it or not, opposite an Irish bar 🍺
Pork sausages and zucchini balls to start followed by goat, the sausages are unlike any I've had with massive chunks of pork and spices, the zucchini balls and cheese defeated me only managed one, goat was nice in a spicy sauce but left the chips, way too much food for one, you could have fed an army on this lot 😵‍💫Les mer
