Grecian 2000






My friend Kris calls from Greece. He's on a round the world trip with his wife, and has taken some time to hang out in greece and volunteer with the salvation army in Thessaloniki. I've been having a crazy summer and his invite to come on a wee adventure proves irresistible.



So we met up, and took a boys road trip. Of course, he's going round europe in a classic convertible. No other way to do it, right? So we headed for a town called Meteora, famous for it's absurdly mystical monasteries, all teetering on rock pinnacles. I have a thing for things built on the tops of mountains, and it's nigh impossible to do an unappealing sketch of these places :)




I'm a real spiritual guy, you know?

And here are the wheels:


Of course- A little beach time was in order too.


The director in me demanded a decent 'road' shot. This one almost involved rolling off the back when the car changed gear. Clever
Fluffy dice an absolute necessity.

Thanks! I saw a ton of climbers on those pinnacles, so would have been your kind of place :)
