As you all know my dearest boyfriend lives in Greece and as you all know I went to Greece for vacation! One day I had inspiration to write but nothing to write on. So I bought this notepad and decided to keep a journal. I started this the 14th so I'll have to catch up and write from the memory so I might forget some things (and might put it in the story later!)
DAY 1 (Sunday) -> flight to and after!
I wanted to get up at 0600 but fucked it up and got up at 0630. I had to be at Schiphol (our beloved airport) around 0800 cause the plane would leave at 1000. You could say the household was stressed out because we still had stuff to do ofcourse. But after a while we were finally able to move! We got there and did some shopping while we were waiting for our flight that would first take us to Budapest ( Yay we have to stop! :< ). Everyone that knows me, knows that I'm afraid of flying.. We had a 55 minutes stop in Budapest and while there we didn't have a very good time.. Some people didn't sleep too well (Sigh..). After a long time of annoyed faces and nasty looks our flight to Thessaloniki would finally start boarding. While we were in the plane my fear kind of sunk away a bit.. Everything went well but in the last 20 minutes I thought I'd lose it. Turbulence. But not just a little bit! Our plane seriously took dives. I was sitting next to this Greek lady that was terrified aswell. Pretty sad, huh? Anyhow.. We arrived and my dear and his Brother-in-law were waiting for us at the gates. We'd go to the place we'd stay but the first trip in Greece felt like hel, so we weren't sure if we'd make it. In Greece people drive like madmen! So we were a bit annoyed because in Holland when a sign says 100, we go 100 not 160. Later on we arrived at the prettiest place ever! And in this place our humble home for the next 17 days would be. Everyone was at the house except for his sister because she was working untill 2000 but she'd come later. They're all nice people and we had a great time, a very pleasant first meeting with the family.
DAY 2 (monday) -> They call it a village..
Woke up around 1100, we didn't do much.
Baby came and we went to the supermarket (which was very cute!). We hung out a bit and went to the cute and cozy village that was near: Kallikratia. We ate some sweets that are called: Mpougatsa, ones with cheese and ones with cream and icing sugar. I loved the cheese ones ( I like cheese! yummie!) We decided to keep on moving and went to the bigger supermarket to buy more serious stuff. Was okay but I still wasn't used to the driving.. Eventually for some reason we went back to the little village (which by the way isnt THAT small) where they got some chicken and bananas. Went back home played some mens-erger-je-niet -> board game, and had dinner.
We watched TV and I fell asleep on baby, first time I slept next to him, felt great.
DAY 3 (tuesday) -> Somewhere where turtles have threesomes.
Woke up kinda late I believe.. We went to some place in the mountains thats called Platanakia. You could eat something at that place we went to the parc-like-thingie, it was really cool. You'd walk over a bridge that'd go over some kind of waterfall which had Gooses and turtles! The turtles were adorable. They we're all there minding their own bussiness, chilling out! We went deeper in the mountain place and saw gorgeous trees, a lovely little creek and a baby toad that was just hopping around. After spending some time there we ate some very nice sweets that's called Trigona, at a place called Panorama. I think that after that we went to Soulis' (pash his dad) store and had a nice party over there! Niko, Sofia, Maria and other nice people were there, always something going on there! Stayed there for some more hours, then baby drove us back and he left.
DAY 4(wednesday) -> Red like a lobster
Pash came early with his mum,sis and aunt I believe. The day before they decided to go to the beach. It was like 15 minutes away from us, so we had to go in shifts 3&3. My first shift was fast: Me, my dad and his mum.
So we arrived at this big ass beach, which was pretty freaking crowded. With a nice blue,clean sea (like most of them!). We swom awhile and i fell asleep in the sun, got quite burnt. We went back in the sea but something started biting me and my dear, but we couldn't see what! ( we still dont know!) So we got out, because noone likes biting stuff. After a while we decided to get back to home where Soulis and Nikos (bro in law) were waiting for us. Maria (his mum) started making us a lovely dinner again, this woman is one of the best cooks you'll ever meet! ( this is because every mum is a decent/super cook.) We ate mousaka that day, and a lot of other nice stuff.
Everyone left at some point in time but baby stayed, we watched TV and fell asleep.
DAY 5(thursday) -> ouch..
You don't really care, we chilled out because we were all hurt from the sun.. except for dad.. elephant skin really! :(
DAY 6(friday) -> ena kafe please!
Another day that we went to the city. Thessaloniki for the win!
We chilled out at Soulis' store where we were waiting because my dearest needed a shower, and his water had to warm up (weird ass system they have there..) When nick, a WoW playing friend of us showed up to go for coffee. Baby his shower got ready and Nick is very shy so he had to join him to his house with him.. So after they came back we went to the coffee place. I met most of his friends, including the ones I already ''met''.
DAY 7(saturday) -> Errrr...?
I think we woke up late here.. don't remember, I kind of lost day 7/8 and 9.. But somewhere here we got my dad headphones, and we bought me a memory card because mine was full!
Oh and somewhere in these days I met Chris, who's a good friend.
DAY 10(tuesday) -> Maria's omnomnom!
This day we went to the city. It was a sunny day as always, so we hung out at Soulis' store for hours! But it was very nice, it was always nice to be there. Honestly, I've never met people as nice as this. So anyways, it was turning 5 o clock and Maria prepared us a lovely lunch, as she always did! For the rest of the evening we hung out there till at some point in time probably at like 2300 or 2330 we went back to our humble home where 12 kitties and 6 stray dogs were waiting for us.
DAY 11(wednesday) -> Bleghrarlw.
Not an interesting day, all we did was we went to the supermarket, the beach that's 2 minutes from our house and we went back. And well.. did what we always did, watched tv, ate some, played some cards or whatever and watched more tv and fell asleep.
DAY 12(thursday) -> My precious...
Today it's Lord of the Rings day! It was my idea to make a movie day, and we watched all three of them because I didn't see the last part and didn't remember the first one too well. So 6 hours after we start the first movie, we started the third one.. And after 3 maybe 4 hours of the third movie.. It wasn't great at all. I regret even mentioning that we should watch it. The second one is by far the best! After that we decided to go to the beach and make pictures of the sunset and have a lovely bath in there.
DAY 13 (friday) -> Welcome to our jungle!
We woke early this day because we knew we'd have a long day! My mum was curious about the village on the right, we never went there before so we thought we'd go there. We ended up somewhere in a jungle somehow, and had almost no gas left so we decided to go back and cruise to the village searching for a gas station which we found! They had chicken over there, aint it cute? After that at round 1400 we went to the city, Thessaloniki. Where our parents left immediately, because they would go to this festival thing, somewhere up the mountains. So me and dear helt the grocery for like another hour and we decided to go for coffee with the guys. After chilling out there for a while, some left and some friend of his called Morris showed up with this American guy that I believe was called Randy.. Morris looked a lot like Kevin Smith, only he wasn't that fat! And his friend had err, how do you call em? Teeth like a bunny. Ahwell, they were funny, had great fun that day! Anyways. So we went to some place called Goodys, this place beat MCdonalds out of Thessaloniki, there's one left. And I got to be honest, it was delicious. We ate the stuff at home tho, because, that's how we roll. After a while of hanging out at home, with our tummies almost exploding, Sofia called us to go out for coffee with some friends, which we did. Well.. not really coffee, beer tho. But whatever, they call everything coffee there! We went back after a while, played some Xbox, while our WoW guild had some trouble so we were there on Ventrilo to participate the discussion. Pash wouldn't let me speak tho :(
After hours of that, at 0300+- our parents arrived, too drunk to fucking stand on their feet, and highly annoying. So we went home and arrived at like 0330. Ofcourse dear stayed now, was way too late to go back.
DAY 14( saturday) -> Dogs need fooood!
We woke up very late.. 1430 more or less.. My parents went to the beach while me and dearest were sleeping. So we had breakfast and not long after we went past a Lidl too because our dearest puppies didnt have any food left. When we came back we wanted to go to the beach, but when we arrived the wind started blowing, and not just a little! So we went back, ate and watched 007.
DAY 15( sunday) -> Where the seas are so blue!
We went to the center pretty early and we were expecting Maria to join us to Kallithea to get her a nice bracelet. So Soulis went to get her from work but the people at the gas station filles his car with petroleum so he couldn't move and it took them 2 hours to clean it, so Pash and I decided to go and get Maria, but when we arrived Soulis got there and took her with him. So after all the waiting for nothing we decided to just go and get her the thing. We got me some nice necklaces and ate at George. Which is a little restaurant that was decent. We went home and watched Friends.
DAY 16 (monday) -> Holy waterfalls!
We woke very early this time because we had a very long drive to go! We'd go to some place where they'd have holy waterfalls! And they kind of did, It was from one river, or mountain but the one side was cold and the other one was nice and warm. Pretty weird if you ask me. But first we'd climb up a mountain, which I loved at first but after a while it became a bit too high if you asked me.. So we went down again after our long and beautifull climb where we met weird little white frogs, and pretty butterflies. When we came down we jumped into the waterfalls and enjoyed the hot water. After a while i wanted to try the cold ones tho, but my dearest baby didn't want to join me. So I was there all alone, well with this woman that came with me all the time. Everyone was watching me, felt weird. So back into the warm one for some time and off we go, back home! This day Nikos and Sofia were together for 3 years so we had a drink. It was a nice evening, and after dinner we went home :)
DAY 17 (tuesday) -> Home? I'd rather stay!
We woke up early, and loaded the car with our crap. We cleaned the house and went to the city to spend our last hours together here. We went to some store quick, where I saw this watch that my baby wanted to buy for me, and we bought a gamecard for when I'd be home.
Not long after we had to leave and hang around on the airport.
After lotsa tears (from my side..) we said goodbye and our plane left.
We stayed at budapest for one hour and had huuuuge delay because of some guys that showed up late. When we finally arrived at Amsterdam there was this extra security check, fine they caught the guy but I don't want to wait 3 hours for that! I was supposed to be home at like 9 something, but arrived home at like 2315.
That doesn't take away the fact that I had the best vacation ever, and I look forward to go there next summer again. Had the time of my life.

love,
