On our third day in Athens, we got up early to take a bus to Delphi. We decided not to take a tour but rather take a public bus, which was really straightforward and comfortable, and saved us about 60 Euros each! We spent the day exploring the Sanctuary of Apollo and the Sanctuary of Athena,…

A few days in London
We arrived in London a little weary after our Icelandic adventures, so we took our first day rather sedately. We plan to come back to London later in our travels, so we relaxed and enjoyed what we could. We stayed with a friend of my parents’ in Clapham, and so spent our first day walking…
Jökulsárlón

Piako goes to Greece
Piako tried to take photos at the Acropolis in Athens…but after being shouted at by security decided it might be wiser to take photos from Lykavitos hill looking down on the Acropolis. Fortunately there were no such restrictions on the island of Santorini!

Washington D.C
We had a great three days in the USA’s capital city. My mum is from this area and as children my brother and I really enjoyed visiting here. I was eager to share it with Reuben! We stayed with my friend Sam and his wife Jean, and really appreciated their hospitality. Some of our highlights…
