In today's #TBT let's just fly back to 2013 ... October was very much the same: sunny, breezy but as the Sun went down, the cold showed it teeth... but I was on the train (similar impromptu travel as in the Portugal Story> https://noise.cash/post/lm3ggrpk ) I slept on the train, but the grey morning and cool weather was meh... anyways, I learned the first lesson> be positive... and as I used to Noise to you all the time: smile, because the SUN is always shining, even if it's behind the clouds. So I landed in Thessaloniki (beautiful City as I scanned in the rush, need to go back!) Hop on a bus and head to Kavala, to catch the ferry. But... not so fast... adventure is coming, more specifically: adventurous Greek Theather> As we were standing on the right station, between two buses, one of them seemed (based on the number) the right one for me ... two bus drivers came and they started in a quarrel, shouting to each other, showing some papers, showing some directions. In the meantime, one of them started to take the passengers bags out from the bus shouting to the other ... after some question and answer (all body language for me, cause I don't speak greek ...) they disappeared ... for office, maybe ... came back, still shouting, and packing back the luggages. This gone for 40 minutes ... and I started to worry, because I knew that as soon as I arrive at destination, the last ferry of the day will leave in 30 minutes... so they shake hands and big smiles, hugs even... everything was settled, just as we started 50 min later... I doubt I'll catch the ferry. Long story short, second lesson: just relax... there will be some solution (with extra cost of course, because I needed to rent a room in a nearby hotel but... what can we do, right? :D) Oh, So sweet you're sorry for me, but I had company that night... so ... morning, leaving, Ferry, greek coffee and Thassos Island. A beauty and strange island where the time is slower than anywhere. Almost nobody on the streets, just the local people... the project was great but the freetime and adventures even better. Maybe I'll write about this in details, but I don't want to bore you with these... I'll send some Noisecard: and ... just briefly, the usual, boring stuff: ... great scenes, exploring, cozy small places, excellent dishes, calm sea, a girl appears, chit-chat, laughs, walk on the beach at midnight, sitting in a pub and suddenly there was a wedding crowd around me (just came from a yacht), wedding... I didn't want to, but I had to ... the sun is already up... "no, I don't want that scotch, thank you... my plane is leaving" ... shoot... "I have to pack, we're leaving in 20 minutes!" .... run, splash of water, "where is my Waatch" ... what the Ff... oh, here it is... ok .. phew ... down to the lobby, dizzy but ready ... bus ... " I'll drink a coffee on the ferry " ... ... but it was lovely :D Did you were in Thassos ?
