Greece
I leave for Athens in less than a week. Some parts of Greece right now are 40 degrees, but should be starting to cool down in September.
Here at home we have had hot weather for only the last week or two, but summer is winding down. Mornings are cool and days are getting shorter.
This week I was advised by my tour company that the activity level of my trip had been upgraded, mainly due to the day long trek into the biggest gorge in Europe, on the island of Crete. That day we will leave our packs behind and carry only a small pack, so I decided I should replace my last one, chewed by rats in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Here is my trip, Best of Greece with G Adventures.
