A Day in the Island of Kos for WWW

Plenty a sights to see, from the ruins of old to the more recent palm trees.
Early morning take off, with a huff and a puff and a scoff, we managed to catch the bus, without too much fuss.

A few stops on the way, to pick up many a stray, or possible tourists from the nearby village 😉
We were en route, the roads not so smooth, traffic heavy, especially when nearing the city.

Finally, arriving. One hour, in a minimalistic bus, where knees were hitting your chin, and barely managed to squeeze your derriere into the seat.
Now, finally free, to do as we please!

 

First stop, archeological digs! If we can only get across the heavy traffic street!
Eventually, reaching the site, reading the map, filling in the gaps and enjoying the views.

“Snap, snap, snap!”
Now I recorded that!
Nice memories to enjoy now and in the coming years.

Each ruin tells a story. What, who, why, when, can you picture from the remaining frame?
History unfolds, as now and for years told.

Midday: The sun burning on the skin, sweat pouring even from my chins!
What to do?
A light lunch, or call it a brunch?


After that, a fully packed afternoon, with fun filled adventure: So into the trenches, we are ready for more, what ever this town has in store!

Much later: the fortress has been thoroughly searched, for whatever secrets in there lurched.

Now, before heading home, or the borrowed accommodations, for this week’s station:
Shopping, shopping, shopping!
And then…
… to crown the day, a healthy can with sweet, sweet ice coffee inside! Oh what an joyous ride!

“Adventure is worthwhile.” – Aesop

A Day in the Island of Kos for WWW

I’ll tell you no lies:
There were blue skies
Clear and cool as ice
Worth while
Ye old blue eyes

Fun in the Sun

Afternoon,
Feeling lazy
Real life, all hazy
Turquoise waters
With no otters
Laying about
Poolside,
No doubt!
No hurries
No worries
Just living
For today
Wishing
I could stay
More
Than a week!

World Wide Wednesday in Evia, Greece

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“We travel,
some of us forever,
to seek other places,
other lives,
other souls.”
– Anais Nin

Evia

No sun a shining
When the storm clouds
Fill the horizon
Time to sail ashore
Before the all mighty Thor
Hits his hammer

The wind’s subsiding
The mist arising
It’s all calm
After the storm

Blue skies
Blue waters
No need,
To go any further

World Wide Wednesday in Athens, Acropolis

Posted in World Wide Wednesday

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart” Helen Keller

Athens, Acropolis

Basking in the sun
Athens, Acropolis
A place of fun
A place of knowledge

Climbing up the mountain
Looking for the fountain
Of wisdom and history
Shrouded in mystery

Walking in the footsteps
Of the ancient Greeks
But, watch your steps
On the narrow streets

Once reaching the top
The effort but one hop
The view of awe and beauty
You know it really was your duty

Charioteer of Delphi (WWW)

“When travelling, travel in style” Gun Roswell

Charioteer of Delphi

Charioteer

The boy with a chariot
With a look so serious
Horses as beasts of burden
He may be a rich man’s servant
But driving with fervency
Loving his chariot passionately

Blue

On the way to Peru
Or possibly Katmandu
Onto a side track we flew

Soon enough, in a locale new
With a cloudy blue hue
And a gorgeous mountain view
