Another journey in the French Riviera -it seems I am going to Sophia Antipolis more often than I go to Greece!

A few moments from my summer holidays. Moments burned deep into memory… Just press play for the soundtrack and enjoy the few photos…

From the horrors of a few days ago, to the ups and downs of surrendering to the musical interests of the occasional DJ, it has been an interesting holiday week!

Ahh visiting the the French Riviera again. Memories from last time are mixed, with Cannes proving just an overhyped place with the only the festival to show for.

Arriving at my hotel (Creta Maris, an amazing holiday resort in Hersonissos, Creta) I learn that my fax reservation that I sent more than a month ago never actually made it through to their booking system. What’s more, the receptionist informs me that the hotel is full! Bad luck, now what?

What is the difference between Goofy and Pluto? Also, find out how to turn an engineering failure into a major tourist attraction! And many more things I learned from my visit to Pisa!

This is the beginning of a series of “diary entries” where I document the most interesting and funny events, situations, discussions, and discoveries (!) I make during my various trips throughout Europe. I have been fortunate enough to witness such events in almost all my travels!

I was particularly happy to see that easyJet has finally included Thessaloniki in their destinations from London! And then, I noticed that it is not only Thessaloniki but a host of other new Greek destinations!
