Thessaloniki

Well I saw a frigate sail in while I was walking yesterday, it's moored at the far end of the dock so thought I would see if I could see it.
Not only could I see it but could also go on board the "open deck areas" No photos allowed on board and a big marine in a flack jacket and big gun was with each group shown round, very interesting to see the massive Gatling guns, torpedo's and Heli deck, strange though I could take some pics from the dock.
Went round the corner and there was a submarine, had a chat with one of the crew who explained the flags were for navy day, he said couldn't go on board it was against regulations and they didn't have open deck areas unlike the frigate 🤣
But he said he liked my shirt 😘
On the way back there was loads of activity on the waterfront, Hellenic navy band, a fire rescue boat, coastguard, red cross water rescue, even search and rescue dogs it was quite a good way to end the evening 😎Read more
