Ithaki - Athens 🇬🇷

Goodbye Greek islands and family!  
Well, I had the most wonderful experience on Ithaki.  It's hard to be specific about what made it feel so wonderful because I think it was a combination of so many things.  The warmth of family and friends and the joy of being involved in a wedding.  Staying in a beautiful villa with a large group and stunning views.
Exploring little beaches, seeing all manner of watercraft from a tiny little fishing boat to $5M super yachts or cruisers.  Swimming in clear buoyant waters. Cycling around to various little bays, past villages and all with ocean views.  Visiting the family property and hearing the history. The shades of blue in the water and sky. Sunsets and sunrises. Getting to enjoy all these things with Tim.  It was a combo!
A little heart starter when doing bag drop.  I had checked us both in online and noticed that Tim was allocated a seat but not me? We had paid for an exit seat on the way over and so I assumed that was the reason. We got to check-in to find that the flight had been oversold and Tim had been allocated the last seat.  A friendly discussion about flight to Australia tomorrow and that i had worked for an airline for 15yrs etc.  She said she would try for the jump seat for me.  Good news for me, there was one no show and they gave that seat to me.  (I must say that getting ‘stranded’ on a Greek island truly would not be the worst thing that could happen 😂)
Then to the fun and bustle of Athens.  It's a busy, somewhat sketchy feeling city teeming with people - which I love! 
We headed out for a rooftop dinner of beautiful Greek food.  
A great way to finish the day 🥰

Europe cycle 2025 begins

Image
It's just over a year since my return from my Gap Year and Europe has beckoned 😊 A cycling & hiking adventure over the next 4 weeks will unfold.  I've yearned for the freedom feeling of riding with all that you need strapped to your bike.  I was fortunate to have a few weeks cycling touring in NZ earlier in the year which kept that dream alive, but now it's time to take on another European challenge.  I will tackle a couple of routes people recommended with the first being Munich to Venice via the Dolomites (Germany, Austria and Italy). The training has been done, and this will stretch me as it's way more elevation and mountains than I have cycled day after day, but, every wonderful view that I earn will spur me on to the next, I'm sure.  I have a few days of big hikes planned enroute too and so lugging hiking boots too. There are easier ways to travel (especially through airports!!) but exploration and slow travel by bike is pure joy for me. ...

Day 23: Ithaki 🇬🇷 wedding day

Image
Waking up in the Greek Islands and watching the sunrise over the mountains - wonderful 🥰 After brekky in the apartment Tim and I walked down to a local beach for a swim.  Wandering past olive trees with young olives, pomegranate trees full of splitting fruit and so I picked a few and we ate them beside the water.  The water temp was perfect - refreshing and also buoyant and so we floated around for ages and then lay and read for a while.  A wander back up the road to our apartment and Tim's brother in law came past and we got a lift for the last part There’s Something special about eating a Greek salad for lunch in Greece on a balcony with the ocean and yachts below!  We dropped Tim's sister at the hairdresser and then Tim drove me up the mountain to his grandfather's property with incredible views to neighbouring islands. Back via the supermarket and a very relaxing af...

postodjna - Ljubljana 🇸🇮 66kms

Image
Final day of cycling in Slovenia and we successfully returned to base after completing most of the Western loop.  Today was a brilliant day on the bike. After huge thunderstorms at 3am, the rain cleared this morning and whilst it was overcast for most of the day, the rain stayed away. Just 10kms out of town we visited Predjama castle.  This castle is the largest cave built castle in the world, built in the 1500’s and was a truly spectacular castle for Tim to visit as his first castle. The castle had a hidden escape route through the cave system under and behind the castle. The rest of our ride was through undulating farmland and after lots of climbing we finished with a long sweeping (and somewhat sketchy) 7km descent! And then the last 20kms on a dedicated flat cycle lane all the way to Ljubljana.  We had a relaxing nibbly style dinner and drinks beside the river. ...
