Easter Sunday
Yes, this picture looks like the photo made in Bodrum, on the right
hand side column of my blog. But this is Pireau, a suburb of
Thessaloniki. Beautiful scenery. The difference is that you can see a
Greek island from Turkey, but you can not see Turkish land from
Thessaloniki.
On Easter Sunday I drove through 'explore my senses' of Greece. And
yes, it was nice. Had a nice piece of lamb on the beach, and enjoyed
myself. Yes, definitely, the Greek cuisine is made for my stomach,
Turkish one smells sometimes like hospital food: looks like they do
their utmost best to cook the vitamins out.
The picture is made when I was waiting for my meal...

Flying Olympic Airways
This is a high wind propeller airplane.
Didn't know that these planes are still used for commercial purposes.
But Olympic Airways is still using these machines: between Istanbul
and Thessaloniki. Not more than 50 people can go with it! And I was
thinking last week Thursday, the first day of Greek Orthodox Easter,
that this flight could be crowded. Especially since there are only 2
flights each week from Istanbul to the second city of Greece. But the
flight was not even full!
Thirty years ago, while on my first visit to Athens, we booked an
unexpected flight to Cairo. Never forget that trip since I was
thinking by the start that we didn't get off the ground...
Now, sitting in Exit Row, I could hear the propellers banging in my
ears for 1 hr and 10 minutes.
No, not fun at all. Also the flight was delayed twice. We took off 20
minutes after the flight was supposed to land in Thessaloniki. I am
curious about my flight this Sunday: Thessaloniki-Athens-Istanbul.
