Holiday to Parga – Intro

If you were wondering why my blog post’s dried up last week, it’s because I had taken a week off and popped over to Greece for a bit of Sun and some Mythos.

So to make up for it im going to post a FULL report of our trip and bore you all to death with my pics, having said that I am going to break it down into a few sections over the next couple of days so you don’t get too bored

We love Greece, especially the islands (we’ve “done” quite a few) unfortunately we haven’t been for a few years now…mainly because we bought and renovated a house so didn’t have the funds. This year we managed to save a few quid, despite me doing my best to spend it all on new beers.

We had a list of places we wanted to go,  but in the end plumped for a cracking deal that i found on the Internet, so we booked a week at the Utopia Studios in Parga, mainland Greece, It was the first time we had chosen mainland Greece so we weren’t sure what to expect.
After the usual trip to the airport, checking in and waiting around in the airport – which wasn’t too bad as there is a fair bit to do in Manchester’s Terminal 1, i even managed to find some decent beer (Brooklyn lager) and a wicked burger place that had a massive selection of chilli sauces, the pick of the bunch being smoked Tabasco sauce,  check in was made easier as we only took the 1 bag – my shiny new North Face Basecamp Duffel which is way easier than lumping a suitcase round (I will post a full review of it after it’s had a bit more use).

On arrival in Parga we were greeted by a rather grumpy bloke who glanced at our passports, then picked up our bag (it was the first off and easy to spot…it being bright orange) jumped on the bus and were taken to the hotel, unfortuantely it was dark so we couldn’t see much.

What happened next you will have to wait until later to find out.

In the mean time you can check out all the pictures on flickr and all the videos on youtube.
