Dear friends
A holiday with a capital "U": my husband and I are fulfilling a dream we've had for over 10 years. We are travelling to Greece in mid-August for four weeks (I know, that's crazy!) in our VW California bus. We will drive from home to the ship in Ancona, which will navigate us to Igoumenitsa. Some of you know that my husband and I met in Greece over 33 years ago now: a French woman and a Swiss German, surprising, isn't it?
We were lucky enough to work there for over four years, together with our two children and our dog Rex (also Greek). And yes, we both speak Greek (which has its advantages). In those four years we worked in different places in Greece: Nafpaktos, Patras, Vrenaika, Kilkis, Volos, Naoussa, Preveza, Mytikas and so on and so forth. This adventure did not end when our son started school in Switzerland.
As soon as an opportunity presented itself, we children packed up (Rex had left us in the meantime) and set off.
We love this country, with its islands, its nature, its mountains, the sea, the food...
And we always wanted to go on this long journey! With one difference: we had originally said that we would do it when we retired. And fortunately, we changed our minds! Why should you wait until you retire to fulfil a dream? No, no and NO again. Life is too short and dreams are there to be realised, not to be dreamt. Don't you agree?
So today we are making the final preparations. I'll let you know that during this time (from Tuesday, 09 August 2022 to Sunday, 11 September 2022) will not have access to my emails. This also means that I will not be able to process and dispatch your orders. I will be available again from Monday 12 September. Until my departure, however, I will be happy to take care of your orders placed until Monday, 08 August 2022, before 6 pm will be received. Thank you very much for this!
Thank you for your understanding. If my internet access allows it, I will be happy to share our adventure with you on Instagram.
Until then, all the best and see you soon, Αντίο!
