We then had two days at work before Ching joined us and we did the Preikestolen walk on Wednesday. We were very lucky with the weather and it was a perfect day. On Thursday we flew to Tromsø, where we have been for the last three days. Unfortunately it has been cloudy for the whole time, so no Northern Lights for us, but we have been to the Tromsø and Polar Museums, been on numerous drives around the coast and up the gondola. Last night we went out for a delici...

It's been nearly a month since we got back from our big summer trip and it has been a relaxed entry back into our normal routine. Most of the office was off at training in Oslo for our second week back and it was nice to be home for a couple of weekends. Last weekend Greta came to visit and we headed up to Odda to climb Trolltunga. The weather forecast was better for on Sunday so we explored Odda on the Saturday and had a relaxing day at our airbnb place. On Sund...

Day 1: We arrived late, but not too late so that we missed out on dinner. First stop was to drop our gear off at the hotel and then head out for our first kebab at a cheap restaurant that was very convenient.

Day 1: An early start in Athens to make our way to Piraues for the 7am ferry. Our ferry arrived in the main port of Thira Island at around 1pm-ish. We took the local bus to Karterados and then walked the circa 750 m to our accommodation. After an early morning, the plan in both of our minds was relaxation for the arvo, but first we had to get some lunch. After a trip to the supermarket and some sandwiches for lunch it was time to hit the pool. We got our bathers...

Day 1: Matt's alarm clock went off at 4:15 and we woke up and got on our way back to Thessaloniki airport. Our flight was again unfortunately delayed, this time by one and a half hours. Once we arrived in Athens, the public transport to get to our accommo was fairly painless owing to the city's excellent metro network. We checked in, then grabbed a souvlaki for lunch at a nearby cafe, then had to have a siesta to try to catch up on the missed sleep the night bef...
