About Me

This blog details the two overseas trips Richard and I have taken together. In 2005 we went to Austria, Czech Republic, Hungry and Greece. In 2006 we went to China, Canada accidently, USA - New York only, Portugal, Italy and Greece. I have also included some photos from our trips to Port Douglas in 2005 and to the Gold Coast in 2007

30 July 2005

Explored Athens today. Drank at a cafe with the view of Acropolis. Did not climb it for a better look as it was too hot. We will do this at the end of August, start of September when the weather cools down.

Saw changing of guards at Parliament.

Went to Monastiraki Flea market and saw a lot of expensive junk for tourists.

I was sick in the evening with the onset of heat stroke.

No airconditioning or fan at house in Piraeus (port of athens where Richard's mum lives in winter) only made my suffering worse.

Went to dinner in evening with relatives. Richard's Dad coped the expensive bill. The women of the family chose an expensive restaurant! Unfortunately I did not enjoy as much as I should have as I was sick...I have never suffered heat stroke before.....It's horrible
