The
trip to Greece
I often ask myself why I keep going back to Greece, because
I'm really of Scottish descent. Maybe in another life I was
Greek. All I know is I keep searching for THE place. I'll
know when I find it and I've been close a few times.
Sifnos
is one of those close things - I can go back there time and
time again, never be disappointed and always find something
new. Every
time I go I write a diary and it always reads differently.
Every time I go I take pictures of the same things and they
are always different.
Travel
bio
Back in the 70s, for Australians, it was the thing to spend
holidays in Singapore or Fiji so we did this. And Vanuatu.
Then Bali became popular so we did that. And Thailand. Then
we were offered the last two places on a political tour to
China which was fairly big deal in those days. We were very
lucky because we saw places other tourists weren't ever taken
to. Then my daughter taught English in China for a year, so
of course we made another tour as independent travellers.
It
was difficult then, not like it is now. Also, I used to go
to England on business every 18 months and knew my way around
London better than the locals.Now I have this Greek thing.
But I dearly want to get to the US, Canada, Italy and Europe
(don't want much do I?). And when, at last, I am only capable
of being lifted into a bus, will I tour New Zealand properly,
maybe leaving the best til last
