      Le canal de Corinthe

      3 juni 2023, Griekenland ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Réputée pour ses raisins, Corinthe est surtout le lieu de passage d'un canal créé par l'homme en 1893 (fin de travaux qui ont duré environ 10 ans).

      C'est une voie d'eau artificielle creusée pour relier la mer Ionienne, à l'ouest, à la mer Égée, à l'est. Le canal de Corinthe fait donc du Péloponnèse une île, puisqu'il perce de part en part cette péninsule au reste du territoire grec.

      Il fut conçu pour éviter aux bateaux d'effectuer un détour de plus de 400km pour passer de l'autre de côté de la Grèce.

      Sur une largeur de 25m et de 87m de haut (avec 8m sumergee), il mesure seulement 6,343km. Nous pouvons voir l'entrée et la sortie assez facilement d'un seul et unique point 😁

      Et la couleur de l'eau, on pourrait croire que nos photos sont retouchées pour avoir un bleu aussi turquoise mais non nous avons pu constater aussi les mêmes couleurs en direct.

      On parle du réchauffement climatique, de la planète qui va mal, des déchets de partout mais notre Terre nous montre chaque jour certains trésors qu'elle a encore en réserve. 🤩🤩🤩

      Dans les années 1980, deux ponts submersibles sont mis en place à l'ouest et à l'est. C'est impressionnant !
      La vidéo est mise en vitesse 2. C'était quand même très lent pour remonter 😇

      Vu à hauteur d'eau, on pourrait croire que les bateaux touchent les bords mais pas de crainte quand on les voit à hauteur de pont il y a encore un peu de place 😅😅

      C'est aussi un point pour faire du saut à l'élastique. La force n'a pas été avec nous pour que nous puissions nous lancer à l'aventure !      Meer informatie

      Comrades

      28 augustus 2022, Griekenland ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

      Today at 5h30 the 98th Comrades marathon got underway. Still in Athens Shirley had a bit of FOMO but we did have a full itinerary ahead of us. The early start was a short 2 klm walk to the ancient Olympic stadium where the plan was to run 🏃‍♂️ on the track. The stadium is so impressive in exceptional condition and completely made out of marble. The stadium is huge and holds 80000 spectators. The bends at the two ends are shorter meaning the straights are a lot longer giving an oblong look to the perfect track. we had fun running and standing on the podium. The museum of the Olympic stadium was not fully open when we arrived. The impressive main auditorium, accessed up a tunnel carved into the rock, has private rooms leading off it, each dedicated to each 4 year games event. The story of the distance of the marathon was interesting, it was Originally 40 klm long and the distance decided by the distance run by the Greek soldier in 490bc. Pheidippides ran in full armour from Marathon to Athens to tell of the Greek victory over the Persians and then dropped dead from exhaustion. At the 1908 games in London the Queen wanted the start to be at Windsor Castle, which added the extra distance to make the race 42.195 klm. Shirley stood at the top of the podium. Great start to the day, we had a coffee and headed to the free 3 hour guided tour. The guides name was Stefan a French man exported from Paris to Athens as he puts it. The walk was filled with excellent commentary and information from this lively little man, What a great way to explore a city Changing of the guards was precisely executed but it’s the background info that really makes it memorable. The Guards are all doing their national service. Being a ceremonial guard is a one year stint and it’s considered very prestigious. The guards stand absolutely still like a human statue for 1 hour at a time. They may not move a muscle and stare straight ahead, if the guard wants to make a report they stamp their rifle and the commander then approached,stands in front and asks questions. The guard answers by blinking 1 is yes 2 is no and 3 is I don’t know. The 8 klm guided walk covered so many sights and went by quickly. 🤨 midday heat and a short rest was followed by wine and beers on an iconic hill, Areopagus, watching the sun set and the Parthenon lighting up. Our first home made meal of the weekend was a toasted sandwich and then falling into bed .Meer informatie

      Athena

      26 augustus 2022, Griekenland ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      It was up at 6 and goodbye Corfu our walk across the island was completed, now for a chance to experience some Greek mythology in Athens. The incongruities of rules were waiting at the airport. We checked in and I was told to take my backpack to the oversize counter ( and pay) needless to say I ignored this and walked to the security check carefully removing the flight tags in order to carry on. I was stopped and told to unpack : a small jar of honey a gift tin of olive oil, bottle of water ,some sun block and two jars of Shirley’s makeup cream were deemed unsafe and confiscated but my leatherman knife was ok. Crazy. The metro trip from Athens airport to city centre was 55 min and cost 13 euro we then bought a 5 day all transport ticket for another 8 each at last a rand bargain. Our apartment in central Athens is spacious and central and having a washing machine (with powder ) meant a real clean for our 3 sets of clothing. Scott and Fran arrived and a visit to Lycabettus hill was planned. Lycabettus hill came to be when Athena a Greek god who was helping build Athens, dropped a rock and it landed outside Old Athens. The two gods Poseidon and Athena were competing to be chosen as the god of choice by the people. Athena offered a olive branch and Poseidon a bowl of water and Athena was chosen hence the name Athens. The hill is the highest point in Athens with a 360 degree view of the city and is favourite for sunsets. Couples often climb the steps to propose as the sun hits the horizon. The spectacular sight of Athens from the top is breathtaking. There is a small chapel ( and a very expensive restaurant) at the top the chapel is dedicated to Agio Georgious., the saint whom the two towns we visited in Corfu were named after. There are many steps up and many steps down. Halfway down sitting on a low wall watching the orange ball of the sun sink, accompanied by an Athens feral cat was a great place to share a bottle of red wine.Meer informatie

      Food

      27 augustus 2022, Griekenland ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      Saturday morning of history and gods is behind us . We are all ready for the food tour . The early start and long walk in the homes of gods and kings has left us HANGRY.,……. The Greek food of Athens has many ways of increasing the activity of our saliva glands. The amazing conflicting aromas are all over and in every street. The economy of Greece seems totally dependent on the tourists that frequent the Tavernas, Bars and Restaurants and buy tickets to see broken weather worn rocks of the long dead. So good food is important and essential. There are streets for shops selling spices, prepared meats and artifices, clothing There are meat and fish markets . Coffee shops everywhere. The bakeries have bread cake croissants ice cream. You can get a beer or a coke on every corner. We started at a coffee shop making traditional Greek coffee roasting the strong syrup in hot sand. I learnt by unpleasant mistake that bottom of the cup must be avoided as the grounds are like mud. The butcher was like a shop in a colourful movie, displaying Salami’s handing from the ceiling and displays of cold meats of every description. Sitting in a cozy 5 table sampling nook at the back of the shop we ordered a platter with cold local beer. Sadly we had to go out into the noon 🌞 far to soon. The market was streets products from fresh fruit to fish. The butchers section, with the owners using cleavers on cutting blocks and whole animals hanging in the windows is not recommended for Vegetarians and the fresh vegetable and fruit section alive with colour and greenery would turn a carnivores tummy. There were trays of Octopus, Squid, prawns and all types of fish on ice. The quantities are huge and variety almost to much for choosing. The plan was lunch at a special place that chooses the best in the market and then prepared it but we were tasting at every different store and there was no space left for lunch. Home for a late afternoon siesta was now the priority. After a shower a trip to the docks and then a takeaway Gyro for dinner ended a huge dayMeer informatie

      Last day in Athens

      29 juli 2022, Griekenland ⋅ ☀️ 91 °F

      Miles: 9.2 Steps: 23132
      Flights stairs: 44

      We walked around Athens today looking at assorted ruins and temples - they’re kind of everywhere. Nothing as big or impressive as yesterday, but still pretty cool.

      We ended at the Olympic stadium. As in THE OG Olympic stadium. It was constructed in 350bc and is the only one in the world made of complete marble. 1st Olympics held here. Really impressive to sit in the stands and picture everything that’s happened there over the last 2300 years.

      They had a small museum that housed all the torches from the Olympics. Fun looking at them all and picking our favorites.

      We went back to our room to rest and cool off - so we’d be ready to come back out in the evening and see the city lit up. Went to the highest point in Athens and then down close to the Parthenon. Very impressive at night.      Meer informatie

      Athen Part I

      30 december 2022, Griekenland ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Nachdem wir uns erfolgreich mit unserer Freundin Leo in Athen am Flughafen getroffen und in unserem gemeinsamen AirBnB eingefunden hatten, verging der Abend ohne weitere nennenswerte Ereignisse.
      Am nächsten Tag wagten wir uns ein wenig in Athen vor – beginnend mit dem Akropolis Museum. Dessen Ausstellungsstücke waren wie erwartet beeindruckend, leider fehlte uns ein wenig ein durch die Ausstellung führender „roter Faden“. Mittendrin wurden wir von einer Tänzergruppe überrascht, welche typisch griechische Volkstänze aufführte.
      Ein ungeplantes Highlight stellte für uns die Ausstellung „Raiment of the Soul“ dar, welche Fotografien von Menschen in traditionellen Gewändern präsentierte – mit der Besonderheit, dass auf die Fotografien Teile der Stoffe gestickt waren und das Bild somit zum Leben erwachte.
      Daraufhin erkundeten wir den „Botanischen Garten“, welcher mitunter zwei Schildkröten-Teiche besaß, und irrten ein wenig durch die unzähligen Gassen der alten Stadtviertel, manche schöner als die anderen, ehe wir dann zum Abendbrot Burger aßen und der Tag damit ausklang.      Meer informatie

      6 december 2023, Griekenland ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Meine Pläne für heute sind groß und was ich am Ende mache ist klein. Am Ende genau richtig, ich habe auf meinen Körper gehört. Der Wecker klingelt um 8.30 Uhr und ich drücke im zehnminütigen Tackt auf schlummern. Am Ende stehe ich um 11 Uhr auf. Der Plan war zu einem See an der Küste zu fahren. Doch mein Körper fühlt sich heute schwer an, vor allem die Beine. Und was hab ich gelernt, Pausen machen ist wichtig und Überanstrengung versuchen zu vermeiden.🙈 Doch "nichts machen" fühlt sich auf Reisen immer für mich wie ein Verbot an. Jedoch Zuhause, egal wo, ist nun mal die Ladestation von Menschen mit introvertierter Energie 😂. Es hat gestern Abend stark geregnet und heute scheint wieder schön die Sonne. Ich setze mich stundenlang auf die Dachterrasse und genieße hier die Sonnenstrahlen. 😂. Mich besucht ein Schmetterling, der eine Zeit lang sein Sonnenbad direkt neben mir genießt🥰. Zum späten Nachmittag laufe ich noch zum nah gelegenen Supermarkt für die Snackversorgung, diesmal ein Lidl, und schaue mir gespannt die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede im Sortiment im Vergleich zu Deutschland an 😊.Meer informatie
