2010's trips so far.

A few small jaunts around Europe

Ok so i have yet to leave for Thailand, but that's no need to be shy on the picy front!

February saw another trip to my favourite city, Athens. It was a trip with my Classical Greek Cities course at university and we spent 4 nights in a hostel i have stayed in before, the Athens Backpackers. It was spent basically wandering around all of the ancient sites in Athens and getting lectures from Janett our lecturer.

Kissonerga, Cyprus

July saw me shoot over to Cyprus for some archaeological field work. I stayed in a school in the small village of Kissonerga which was an amazing place. It was a busy yet super fun couple of weeks with plenty of history, archaeology, adventure and drinking.

Driving up to the mountains, only to walk all the way down again! There is some amazing country on this island.

Avakas Gorge in NW Cyprus. An amazing 3 mile long river valley that ends with this spectacular gorge! Taking us 3 hours to walk its length it is one of the best hikes around, Climbing down dried up waterfalls and dodging wild Goats are some of the highlights.
