Adventurous weekend


First long-distance trip with our new car, "Betty". Destination: Patras.
Το πρώτο μεγάλο ταξίδι της καινούργιας μας ρόδας, της Μπέττυ. Προορισμός: η Πάτρα.

Μας πήρε περίπου δυόμιση ώρες μέχρι να δούμε τη γέφυρα του Ρίου.

It took us roughly two and a half hours before we had a glimpse of the Rio bridge (a few kilometres before entering Patras).


Μολονότι μας περίμενε μια σειρά συναντήσεων εργασίας, δε χάσαμε την ευκαιρία να θαυμάσουμε τη θέα. Εδώ, τα βουνά απέναντι.

Despite the fact that we had a series of business meetings, we also managed to admire the view. Here, the mountains across from the Gulf of Patras.

Oh! Congratulations to your new car! How does Betty look like and where is Patras? Josa dreams about having some sort of jeep, but neither of us have a driver's licence. ;-) As for myself I would much prefer a dog.

For some funny reason you have to press "refresh" to see all the photos and comments (Betty is a blue 147). Patras lie in the south-western Greece, in Peloponese. If you opt for a 4X4, the good old LADA Niva is the best and I can teach you both ;-)

Dear Angela,

It seems that I will have to keep Josa away from your blog for a while to keep her from starting to dream about sports cars as well.

Yours,

Vilhelm

Dear Angela,

I missed your comment about the Lada Niva. Thank you for your kind offer! I have actually driven such a car quite a lot when in FSU. (I shall not tell you more).

Yours,

Vilhelm
