As most of you know by now I went back to Greece. This trip was more laid back, we stood in Athens for a few days, we walked around a lot, ate a ton of delicious food and I got a tattoo that I’m NOT happy with (let’s not talk about it). We then flew to the island of Corfu for another couple of days. Such a beautiful place!!! Unfortunately, I was very sick in.
Athens: It’s so busy so be prepare to encounter a ton of tourists especially in the city center area. We didn’t go to Acropolis because my sister in-law was happy seeing it from a distance. I personally do recommend seeing it up close and personal, research the history which is what I did the first time I went. The food is by far my favorite. Try the fried feta drizzled with honey – chef’s kiss. The feta cheese in Greece isn’t like the one in the states, ours is salty and theirs is perfection. I ate a lot of salad because it’s what they like to eat besides lamb/meat. Everything is so fresh, honestly everything outside the states is fresh. The girls had planned to get travel tattoo’s but I honestly didn’t want another one. After they got theirs we went to eat then I decided I wanted a blue heart, something very simple. It was nice at first but it didn’t heal very well so I have to get it touched up at some point.
Corfu: It was my first time there and its gorgeous. Not much to do as far as party / nightlife but this wasn’t that type of trip. This is a very chill place, it’s good to lay out by the pool/beach, enjoy the resort and visit the town which we didn’t do. We were way up in the mountains and thought we were further away than what we actually were. I spent most of my days in my room sick and came out at night for dinners and nightlife which consisted of drinking wine (ya’ll know I love me some wine) and just hanging out with the girls. Things happen for a reason, I don’t feel like I missed out on anything I see it as my body needed to rest and so that’s what I did. The view from our room was beautiful so I enjoyed it, meditated, wrote in my journal, read my book and embraced my quiet time alone. So grateful to my girls for taking care of me, they would bring me honey with lemon which helped.
The flight back was rough for me since I wasn’t feeling well. I had aches, fever, an annoying cough, I became restless so I kept shifting in my seat, I couldn’t sleep. I could not wait for the moment that plane landed!! Overall, it was a great trip, I’m so happy my sister in-law came along and shared this experience with me.
As for my next trip I have a big one in February, if you follow me on IG then you caught a glimpse of the locations on my stories. If you read this all the way to the end you’re the real MVP LOL and I appreciate you.
