Greece, 30.Sep.2025, Tuesday

Today was a day mostly away from history and culture. We went out on a catamaran to see the gorgeous Greek water, a particular wish of Eli C’s. First, however, Rick and I got up in time to see the sunrise from the Venetian harbor of Chania.  A man and his coffee cup 🙂 Eli…

Greece, 29.Sep.2025, Monday

Today was a travel day. We thought we were going to do some walking early, but it was a rainy day and instead, we all went to a cell phone case store the Eli C had found and we all got either cases, or the protector glass on the front, a watch band. Who knew…

Greece, 28.Sep.2025, Sunday

We got to sleep in a bit today. Surprisingly, everyone was still up and at breakfast by 7:30, with Eli W being the first one up! We decided to meet and walk towards the Agora, going through the Plaka area, the old city with shops, coffee shops, restaurants. I led the way, repeating my walk…

Greece, 27.Sep.2025, Saturday

The family made it in last night by 10, very tired, staggering, but happy to be here.  We had a wonderful breakfast to start our day. They have a great buffet here, looking at the Acropolis and Parthenon and then we met our driver for the tour at 8:30. The morning was perfect weather wise.…

Greece, 26.Sep.2025, Friday

I know I’ll probably repeat some of today with the family, but needed to do some walking so took my earbuds and phone and walked a couple of Rick Steves tours. They’re so good! When we were here 8 years ago for my sister’s and stepmother’s birthdays, I didn’t do either of the walks I…

Greece, 25.Sep.2025, Thursday

I wanted to explore with the family, so went on Viatours to find something that would be a day excursion and found a boat trip that went to three islands. It looked like a sailing boat from the ad, but nope, it motored, but it had these crazy big cushions that every one sat on…

Greece, 24.Sep.2025, Wednesday

Lucky me, I’m on another adventure and this time almost the whole family is joining. Sadly, at the last minute my oldest realized she couldn’t join because her dog, her beloved, was not well enough for her to leave him for a week and half. We totally supported her of course, but we will seriously…

Fié Allo Sciliar to Munich, 11.July.2025

Last day of hiking and back to Munich to fly out. This has been such an incredible trip, I can’t believe we’re on the last day. At the same time, we’ve done so much, learned, explored so many new things that it feels ok that it’s the last day – it’s been a truly incredible…

Fié Allo Sciliar, 10.July.2025

Day 5 of hiking Today was some serious up and downing and an exploration of the remnants of WW1. One of our team was a military guy and he’d been studying the area so was really pleased to get to explore.  So – again, Italy was fighting against the Austrians and Germany during this war.…

Fié Allo Sciliar, 9.July.2025

Day 4 of hiking We started with a lift taking us to the Gardena Pass, one of four mountain passes that encircle the Sella Massif. We were then hiking the Puez-Odle park, an UNESCO World Heritage site. We passed through the village of Corvara and could see into the Badia Valley, “considered to be the…
