Day 1: We started our mission to getting Mt Olympus from Rome after a relaxing morning near Ponte Galeria during which Van chillaxed and Matt went for a run. The day was dominated by flight-related stuff- e.g getting to the airport, waiting for our flight to Thessaloniki (delayed by almost 2 hrs) and then waiting for half an hour before disembarking the aircraft once on the Tarmac, due to some thunderstorms (although all we could see was light rain). Once we fin...

We arrived around midday on the train from Milan and dropped off our bags at the hostel before going for an explore. Some lunch and cold beers was high on a agenda after this and it our toughest challenge was finding somewhere in the shade to eat. Tourists seemed to override the streets. We checked in and then headed out to see Piazza San Marco, do some people watching and have a delicious pizza and carbonara for dinner. The next day after a hot night and plenty...
