I only had a really really short visit to Greece to visit Mirela this time around so as soon as I landed late on Friday evening we headed straight out to her village in Lykoporia. Visiting Mirela is practically like visiting family so she knows that she doesn’t have to do much to entertain me – especially if we’re somewhere like in Lykoporia where the water is clear, its warm and the sun is out. This post is not so much about the word but more about the pic. Enjoy!

This is what we woke up to on our first day:

Mirela was so excited to cook me up a proper full English breakfast. And the best part was we could eat in our swimwear! Ha!

There was a bit of a breeze about this weekend and with big boats out in the open water the tide was pretty high. Our chairs nearly got washed away!

Oh – and the trip was a great opportunity to test out my underwater camera. Mirela, ever the clown, was a willing test subject.

Awww .. how sweet, the happy couple!

Some “friends” also came along to play with us and Mirela had a great time throwing them out to the deeper water … and I think they must have liked it because pretty soon a whole bunch of them came along. I refuse to think that it was because they were coming to sting us! Ha ha!

Back in Athens Mirela took me to the funniest restaurant called Bar.B.Q. It was really funkily decorated with a random mix of chandeliers

and hilarious art along the panels of the kitchen. All meat themed. I bet the toilets were hilarious too … but I forgot to check them out.

It was really nice to catch up with Mirela and Enrique.

And even more exciting news … just the day before I arrived Enrique had proposed to Mirela! Congrats guys!
