Greece

Mehdi managed to get a few days off before me so he flew to Brussels (via Vienna with Austrain Airlines) to spend a few extra days with his family and arrange our travel plans.

We really had no idea where we were going, so Sami and Mehdi headed down to the travel agent to find out what packages where available in the next couple of days. We ended up getting a great last minute deal on 7nights, 8days on a little island called Kos in the Aegean Sea.

A couple of days later I flew to Brussels (via Vienna) with Emirates, of course the Emirates flight was delayed and I missed my connection in Vienna. Luckily there was another flight leaving soon and it just meant a couple of hours delay. When I arrived in Brussels, a very exited Sami, Dorothee and Mehdi came to pick me up and told me the good news that we would be flying to Greece the next morning. I had just enough time to fit in choucroute at Mamy's and the next morning the four of us jumped on a plane to Kos!

"Hurry Up, Brooke!" this is Mehdi just after we arrived, keen to explore the resort.

A couple of photo's from the beach on the 1st day. (Sami and Doro above, and me).

These were taken in the little village, Kardamaina, about 5 minutes drive from our hotel.

Sami and Doro outside the marketplace in the capital city of Kos also called Kos.

The team in Kos.

Here's Doro and I with the faux 'Socrates Thinking Tree'.

The Sorates Thinking Tree is Kos's main attraction. This is where the father of modern medicine supposedly wrote the Hypocratic Oath. This is just some random tree that we thought was THE tree when a sign showing the direction of THE tree was pointing straight at the faux tree, if you get my drift. So we stood around snapping shots of the wrong tree while the other tourists thought we were idiots.

THE Tree and ruins.

This is where we ate lunch in Kos.
