We signed up for an excursion today that would take us horseback riding and to the beach. Since we didn’t get to Greece until 11, we were able to sleep in a bit.
The bus set off at 11:30 and we made our way up the mountains to the town of Sidari. Our first stop was the Canal d’amour, or the tunnel of love. Our tour guide told us if we swam in the water there, we would find a husband or wife soon. Neither of us got in the water, but would have to just cool off if we had time to. This truly is one of the most stunning places I’ve been in all my travels. From there we went horseback riding which is an amazing way to see Greece. My horse’s name was Apollo, John’s was Melenia but he kept calling her Melania. Her main was the color of Donald's hair. We were even able to see Albania in the distance. Our tour guide Nat did an amazing job. He originally was from Pakistan but moved here to marry a Greek woman. He kept calling me “my lovely” which you know I loved.
There are many small hotels at the Tunnel of Love.
Here is my horse, Apollo. An Arabian male who is Nat's favorite horse. He was also the fastest of the group.
Getting geared up
Weirdness in the bathroom where our horseback riding excursion began and ended.
After our ride we had an hour before getting on the bus. Everything around us was tourist shops, so we decided to grab a bite and a glass of wine. Formula One was on live, so that was very exciting for me. It was great being able to watch it a. in a restaurant and b. with other people.
Overall, Greece was amazing. Definitely a place I would go back to and feel that I could spend the entire 2 weeks there.
