In 2005 I travelled to Europe for the first time, spending 6 weeks in Greece, 2 weeks in Italy, 6 weeks in England and 6 weeks in Spain. Following are some pics from my time on the Peloponnese peninsula where I spent a week with my (then) flatmate Amaya and her two brothers, Lorien and Elia.
A typical mediterranean garden
One of the many Peloponnese villages
Surveying my domain
Striking a pose
Stunning sunsets at every turn
The entrance tunnel for the races at Olympia – site of the original Olympics
Imagine how imposing these columns must once have been…
Site of the original Olympics
Game of dominoes anyone?
Museum at Corinth
A distinctive 70s postcard vibe
Making friends with the locals
Stray dogs of every description – all in amazingly good condition…
… And ridiculously friendly toward barefoot visitors
Also warm and loyal companions when a bed is hard to come by (PS unintentional product placement in background – I have not actually consumed a McDonald’s meal since 2001)
Amaya and I embracing our inner children
There’s nothing quite like a swing for pure joy
