Tips, Trips, and Stories From My Worldly Travels
Autumn in Paris
End of August, the best time to visit Paris! You only need a thin cardigan for the evening. The trip combined pleasure and work so we were looking for our tickets were for very specific dates. We booked the return ticket for 30 € at the end of May and then we expected the prices to fall before booking the departure ticket …
Guests in Wolfsburg, Germany
When thinking about a trip to Germany we immediately associate it with a large city. Our mind usually relates it to a flat and perhaps indifferent landscape, a dull industrial environment, with chimneys producing technology, rainy weather and strict people who do not think much about us Greeks. Our Easter trip was destined to Wolfsburg, and our favorite neighbor Simela, that hosted us in her home.
Bansko of all seasons
A weekend in Bansko? Typical you might say! And you are probably right, because it has become a frequent destination over the years. For us, it was the first time and this was our motivation!
The 300 km of distance were covered in a 5 hours’ drive, on a rainy Friday afternoon. Six friends on a seven-seater Opel Zafira. We were not in a hurry! Therefore, the stop for coffee at the borders lasted a little longer!
As soon as we passed the Bulgarian control (neither the Bulgarians nor the Greeks gave as a glance!!) we stopped to exchange euros to levas at the currency exchange office by the taxi rank on the right. 1: 1.93 parity. When you do it for the first time you always exchange more money than you need. For sure! Eventually 50 euros (100 leva) per couple would be enough for the weekend.
