So Tinos turned out to be a bit of a highlight. I'm not sure what we were really expecting, we'd planned to rent a scooter (sorry, mum) and just sort of bum around a little bit, y'know? I'd found a list of some villages that people had said were nice so off we fucked to [...]
I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty sad to be leaving Athens but Greece is massive and we'd like to see a bit more of it. I can't get over the random bits of history they just have lying about the place. Like, you'll be walking along and you'll see an excavation and a board [...]
This is it, the moment we've all been waiting for. Well, we have anyway. We'd saved this until last, largely on account of the fact we didn't want to visit at the weekend, but also you kind of want to build up to the main event don't you? The Acropolis, you can see if from [...]
The two historic sites we jammed firmly into our eyeholes today didn't take us long at all. It's not that they're not cool, they're very cool, they're just tiny. We started with Hadrian's Library. We've seen his fuck off big wall, why not his book stash? This is the beast you see as you walk [...]
There is so much history in Athens, so many ancient monuments to put in your eyeholes that we decided to spread everything out over the four full days we were here so we didn't get historied out. It's a real fucking thing, guys. Like in Rajasthan, India when just the thought of visiting another fort [...]
I will absolutely class the South West Coast Path as one of my most favourite things I've ever done. I'm not saying I loved every footstep, obviously I had bad days, we both did. You can't have a good day every day for 54 days in a row if you're an actual human being. But [...]
The original plan was to get to Prestatyn around 3pm, check into our hotel for showers and to abandon our backpacks then finish the trail bagless and in flip flops and ready to pour obnoxious quantities of prosecco into our chops. However, this would mean tackling various hills in heat unbefitting of North Wales so [...]
The alarm went off at 4.30 this morning, before the bastard rooster even had a chance to wake us up. There'd been a lot of roosters recently, sleep had generally been forcibly ended early for the last few days but today it was necessary on account of the fact it was forecast to be hotter [...]
Today was actually quite enjoyable for a few reasons. Firstly, the variety. We started off with the classic, lush, green Welsh hills, then it suddenly got wilder with scree covered slopes rising up above us up the right and sweeping down to the left. Lovely, but the path was very narrow and slightly terrifying, the [...]
It was already too hot by 8am today and we had many hills to get up. I could solve world drought with the amount of fluid pouring from my face. We'd had a lovely horsefly free day yesterday but they were back today with a vengeance, taking chunks out of both of us. I'm going [...]
