As we are in the land of ancient gods, it would be strange if we didn’t mention Athena or Zeus even once. Today thunder and rain changed our plans here in Athens, and so Zeus – the sky and thunder god paid us a visit. Initially, we wanted to climb […]
Our fourth full day in Athens is coming to an end. Today we really have been taking it easy and we really needed it. Maybe because there was thunder in the air? Still, we managed to walk over 10,000 steps and experienced a great deal of Greek hospitality. People seem […]
One of the highlights of staying abroad for a longer period of time is the fact that you get the chance to discover the place in a completely different way. For instance, we probably wouldn’t have gone to Piraeus, had we only come here for a few days. The morning […]
Syntagma Square lies in the heart of Athens and it is a historical, political, and social center of the Greek capital. Today’s mission was to go to the Syntagma Square, visit the National Garden, and perhaps grab an ice cream on the go. Starting Slowly Little A must think that […]
Finding a cool oasis in the center of Athens during a hot summer day might be a challenge. The shades offered by the green trees and other plants in the National Garden will probably give you that much needed cool. A Bit More About the National Garden The National Garden […]

Well hello there! I can’t believe it’s already the end of April. One month from now we will be enjoying some sunshine and great food in Greece. This spring has been so hectic; after visiting Lahti in Finland, I also made a short trip to London. England was more business […]
The last few days, Little A and I have been enjoying and exploring Trosa and Vagnhärad. There are occasions that are a bit more challenging than others. Then there are occasions that are not even close to as challenging as you thought they would be. That is the case for […]
Have you heard about the Moomins? If you have, then you have probably heard of Naantali or Nådendal (the Swedish name) as well. It is here that the amusement park dedicated to the white creatures is located. We are back in Sweden after a week in neighboring Finland. We visited […]
