Olympus For The Weekend

 well some much needed r&r was found in litochoro over the weekend, as eleftheria and i finally found a chance to escape the routine.  we stayed at this beautiful little bed and breakfast right under the mountain [olympus].  the weekend was great, we really had fun; unfortunately, a couple of cold/wet motorcycle rides will remain frozen to our bones for a few days to come. 
 great bed, really clean, it only needed a bedside lamp.
 bathroom ideas
 the sea and the mountain, what more could you want?
 post apocalyptic boardwalk?  nope, its just the off season.
 we played a serious game of cards that took nearly two days. 
 the girls ended up winning by a slim margin.  sorry, i forgot to mention that we met up with some friends while we were there. 
 this is them, kristina and grigoris.  really cool folks. 
 so it was clean monday, spring cleaning for the soul i suppose.  so what better way to clean up than burn stuff.  huge bon fires made up of pine tree boughs.  
 often set up right below the city power lines.
 often engulfing them.


great trip, really relaxing.  it was pretty great.  back to the grind tomorrow.

What a great way to spend a long weekend - I am so looking forward to spring break, although we probably aren't going to do anything very exciting. When is your break?

Looks like a fantastic weekend was had! I know my soul always feels cleansed after throwing christmas trees on the bon fire, what a thrill!!! Glad to see it is appreciated in other cultures as well.
Looking at your get-away makes me even more eager for ours! Depart for Maine in 10 days! Watch out lobsters, here i come!

Cool pics Ian. That hotel room looks really nice! What's up with Clean Day? Is that an actual holiday?
