Greece Blog

Well, this is the final blog of this incredible journey. What an awesome trip this has been! This last blog documents the last two places we visited (Crete and Santorini), and gives some “thank yous” out!

I’m back! Sorry for the silence. The WiFi on the ship costs money, so I waited until our free day in Rhodes. Anyways, this one is a bit longer – I need to cover a few places!

Today we visited monasteries on massive rock bluffs in Meteora, Greece. Truly an incredible view (multiple views actually). Enjoy the pictures! After that, we drove back to Athens.

We finally leave the northern tip of the Aegean shores and make our way back closer to Athens. We stop in Pella (the birthplace of Alexander the Great), Veria (the ancient city of Berea), and arrive in Kalambaka! Also, Dr. John does a great Bible study.

Today we went to my favourite spot (so far). We head to the river where Lydia was converted and baptized, Philippi, and back to Kavala (ancient Neapolis). If you’re interested in art, then you’ll enjoy this one!

We leave Delphi (located within the mainland of Greece) and head to Thessaloniki and Kavala which are right on the Aegean Sea! Check out these pictures of today’s journey.

Today we headed to Corinth, then back to Athens. In this blog I give you a little fun fact about Greece regarding small Barbie churches, and also some pictures showing the Corinth Canal, ancient Corinth, the Areopagus, and more.

This brief blog gives some details and pictures in regards to the long 2 days of travel experienced by many! From Vancouver, to Frankfurt, to Athens, we now are safe and sound at our hotel. See pictures and details inside!

A few thoughts before our trip, and a list of the places we’ll be travelling! Oh, and a pretty bad photo of Jim and I (Jim is my co-worker with whom I’ll be rooming with for the trip). Click for more!
