Back from Greece


People, dear people...


I am back from Greece, the beautiful island of Crete where I spent the most amazing 10 days doing absolutely nothing. :)

I sunbathed, got a tan, went swimming in the deep blue seas, got my feet burned on the hot white sand of the endless, gorgeous beaches and of course visited all the ancient archaeological sites and listened to the glorious stories of the Greek gods and myths.

It was a typical student trip with 220 students from Bosnia and Herzegovina, going to Athens by bus and then to Crete by a ferry boat. It was quite tiring but definitely worth it.

The MTV beach parties, the boat parties, stopping at every little island surrounding the coast of Crete, the typical Greek nights, drinking wine, getting drunk (blushing) and dancing on tables (like typical Bosnians do).

Seeing the Acropolis, the Zeus caves where his mother made him live to protect him from his father, seeing the Labyrinths and ancient pottery in museums in Knossos, Agis Nikolaus, the Matala beach with all the caves where the hippies used to live (one of the favourite places of Janis Joplin, Elton John and John Lennon) and still do, shopping in Heraklion and Athens...

It's great to be back home though. I have to show off my tan :)
