Greece 7 and 8

Cave of the Seal, Kendall and a plane delay home

21 and 22 October

  • The following pictures below again may look great, amazing, and possibly something from National Geographic. If only the morning was as great as God’s beauty was captured and enjoyed.
  • Cafes can look amazing from online pictures and recommendations and their location is just not where the family wants to be. So we try several cafe locations before finally deciding on one conducive to our morning and pace of life. Palm trees and a shore line help.
  • Last day in Greece, what do we do, go slow, cram more marble into our eyes, find something unique to do, or sleep the day away? Driving out of the way and around a mountain is good for the soul and heartbeat of our family. Nature and hiking are comforting to all. 
interesting stairs
the views and colors are unreal
marble and graffiti in Greece

Both sets of tires reached the same spot
windows down and nature, very soothing

  • Cave of the Seal did not disappoint in any way. Impromptu swimming is highly recommended especially if you are traveling with all your luggage and can change upon return to the car.

Taking 2 ferries and crossing the Salamina Island to reach Athens was the right adventure to take.

interesting area for a 10 minute ride

view from the water closet
hmmm…interesting welcome
  • Randy scored 5 stars for driving the entire adventure.
  • We missed seeing Richmond friends visiting Athens, Greece the same time we were in the area. It was hard for me, but I am glad we could share similar experiences via whatsapp.
  • Taking a friend to dinner and ice cream from our church back home was priceless.
  • Pumpkin Spice called my name at the Athens Airport for my flight home, especially after clearing 3 checkpoints showing passports and tickets.
  • Just like in Switzerland, crazy things happen toward the end of our travels, where we see God’s hand working. The viewing of a base jumper’s situation going wrong was in September. This time our green airplane was further delayed due to the removal of a passenger who was sitting in the seat right in front of Randy and Zach! The airline crew seemed to do an amazing job following protocol by checking EVERYTHING possible on the plane after his removal, from every overhead piece of luggage, under the cushions of surrounding seats as well as seat back pockets, to questioning passengers. Lastly the pilot announced the situation and flew us safely home to Montpellier, France.
