The town of Wroclaw is wonderful in the evening. There are loads of restaurants where you get brilliant Polish food, and in old-town there is also a bustling market area with the most excellent food stalls, and tables all over where you can sit and eat. In my nest post I’ll share some of the food (hint – I had food from the steam train on the left).
Epidaurus is mostly known for its beautiful theatre, but it was also a site for athletic games. Here is the is the stadium in which athletics events were held over 2300 years ago.
Just a lovely little town we drove though somewhere in the mountains of Greece.
Gorlit train station has been in many movies. In particular “The Book Thief” and “Alone in Berlin”. The art-deco building and period platforms are wonderful places to take pics (and the train service is excellent as well).
We saw these beautiful chairs sitting outside a hotel in Gorlitz, Germany. If there was a waiter around I certainly would have stopped for a relaxing G&T.
A fishing boat bobs quietly in the harbour, waiting to be taken out onto the sea.
The view of the wonderful city of Nafplio from the Fortress of Palamidi. In the middle you can see the Venetian Bourtzi Castle, and the coastline of the Penopolese peninsula in the distance. The city is the most wonderful place to wonder around and get lost in. It is full of little alleys, shops and restaurants. And if you follow the coastline there is a wonderful walk (wall run for me) along the side of the hill.
Here are a few more pics of the Fortress of Palamidi in Nafplio.
A courtyard in the fortress, with the Greek flag flying high, and the Aegean see and coastline in the distance.

One of the many arches in the fortress
This tunnel is actually up on the battlements of the Fortress of Palamidi in Nafplio, Greece. You can climb on the walls along the outside of the arches to have a magnicifant view of the Aegean sea.
Two metro stations.
The first one is Brandenburg Tor, with the old gothic Unter den Linden sign under it. In the cold-war, West-German trains went through parts of East-Germany, and in particular through this station. But they never stopped at any of these so-called “ghost-stations” that were closed and guarded.
The second sign is Alexanderplatz in East-Berlin, an area that today is one of the bussiest districts in Berlin.
