Evaluating ….

Its a difficult one … low points … very few .. sleeping on a concrete floor? Nah, had my towel, it was 27 degrees and I woke up to a great sun rise! Kipping on a couple of deck chairs for 7 hours? Nah, again the sun rise was amazing and the deck chairs were quite comfy! One comes to mind … on my journey back to the airport … on the metro … a guy (big built) invaded my space.. I mean pressed his body right up to mine. I pushed him out of the way and moved to another area … he then came over to me and tried to do the same (metro was standing room only). At my stop he stood in front of me and the door … I pushed past him to get off … he then followed me to the next connection which was the airport connection. He persistently walked in front of me. Eventually he went… Its the only time I felt uncomfortable! Highs? Far too many to talk about …. Acropolis, Sunsets and sun rises, food, sea and not forgetting the people… Oh and frozen yogurt!!! I have met some really interesting people along the way. People from all over the globe. Best Island? Should really say Santorini for its beauty and romance but am going to say Folegandros …yeah, I had nowhere to stay but it was the prettiest and the most traditional of the 7 islands I visited. 7 down and about 150 to go. Watch this space!

How I feel now? This has been the most amazing experience of my life so far …. simply because it was something that I did on my own and purely for me!!! I have a huge smile inside of my head which will stay with me forever! Yes, thousands have done it and done a whole lot more but this is only the start for me … I am 54 yrs old and that certainly isn’t going to stop me … it may drive me further if anything!

I hope that I have inspired others … you don’t have to be brave (or crazy as some would say of me) just have a sense of adventure and get going … then seawhathappens.
