We finally arrived back home today at around 4pm and everyone was thinking the same thing... Where’s Gus? We found him hiding under the bed but surprisingly, he didn’t mind us petting him.
Every one of us is so very grateful for this amazing country we live in and for all of our family,Read more
June 16, 2019 in Greece ⋅ ⛅ 29 °CDuring our last days of the trip we were busy exploring the 2500 year old town of Athens! We went to see the Parthenon on top of the Acropolis in Athens. The Parthenon was very cool but it was under construction so you couldn’t actually tell how old it was. On the way up to the Parthenon we sawRead more
June 10, 2019 in Greece ⋅ ⛅ 26 °CCaptain Joe spotted some dolphins playing off the port side. We slowed down to watch them and they came over to visit us! We saw them swimming under the boat and leaping in front of our bow and sometimes they rolled on their side to take a look at us. The Aegean is an amazing place!
June 9, 2019 in Greece ⋅ ⛅ 30 °CWe have finally been joined in Athens by cousin Arlo, Uncle Doug, and Aunt Netami - whoot whoot! For our last hurrah before we head back home we have commandeered the sailing ship Blackjack (a 54ft Beneteau for those in the know about these things). The Greek gods are certainly smiling upon us asRead more
June 5, 2019 in Greece ⋅ ⛅ 20 °CApparently, Zeus (Greek god of the sky) released 2 eagles from different ends of the earth, and they met in Delphi - thereby establishing it as the centre or “navel” of the World. It is also home to the famous Oracle of Pythia - consulted for millennia by kings, heroes, and tourists... there’sRead more
June 4, 2019 in Greece ⋅ ⛅ 23 °CWe started our exploration of Greece in a little seaside cottage, northwest of Athens. The town of Alyki looks like a retreat for the city folk. It boasts a tiny fishing harbour, an old castle on the hill and spectacular ocean views. We had a quiet stay here catching up on our schoolwork and justRead more

June 2, 2019 in Greece ⋅ ⛅ 25 °CVenice was a very cool city. One of my favourites I think. It was so peaceful, because there were no cars, so that means no honking, no smoggy air, and no crossing busy streets! We spent a sunny, last weekend with Nana and Tony (Lara’s parents). A little exploring, a little gelato, a littleRead more
May 31, 2019 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °CToday we did an outstanding escape room about a detective agency which we had to re-open in less than an hour and we finished with 10 seconds to spare! It had lots of different types of puzzles, unfortunately we aren’t allowed to share any of the puzzles or answers so the secrets are kept aRead more
May 31, 2019 in Slovenia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °CLast night we slept in space capsules with lots of gizmos and buttons and even a mini tv in each capsule! The Central hotel had been renovated and the hotel was left with a huge amount of empty space which they turned into space capsules! We had to open the capsules with a key card and inside theirRead more
May 28, 2019 in Slovenia ⋅ 🌧 14 °CTKM stands for tristo kosmatih medvedov. Apparently Slovenians do not curse... So to remark on the soggy weather, I am using their expression which literally translates as “three hundred hairy bears”! And I mean every word! Despite the unrelenting rain, the area of the Julian Alps above lakeRead more
