A few months before the year ends, I became very busy with a lot of things happening in life. I was a bit disappointed to myself that I wasn’t really able to complete my monthly journal. Though I still manage to properly arrange my files, time isn’t really enough to include it on my to do list.

That is the reason why, I forced my self and decided to create this content, not to satisfy other people but to give myself a credit for finishing this amazing year. Of course none of this could have happen without the help of our almighty God. So I am very thankful for Him giving me all the blessings and help that I needed.

History says that in order for the monks in Greece to be safe from the increasing number of Turkish attacks they decided to climb up and hide at the top of the huge rock formation that is now called as Meteora. That was in the 11th-century era and back then one could only access the top by using removable ladders or windlass. Now just imagine how difficult it was to build those monasteries on top of that hilly rock sourcing out materials like rounded boulders just to build an establishment that withstands time.

Seeing the place in photos already amazed me, what more if I could be able to visit and be there even for a moment.

Continue reading will tell you more about my Kalambaka trip and on how to you could be able to reach the place the easiest way.

I have been reading and researching a lot of articles online before traveling to Greece on a winter season. I know at first one would find it weird and would ask, why would you travel on a winter in a well-known summer place? Well, that is basically a question most people are asking online, lots of threads and forum telling how bad the idea was. But still, we decided to push it through. After all, my Schengen Visa was already approved and it is going to be a once in a lifetime experience for me to be traveling on that part of the globe.

I guess luck have visited me when Scoot was looking for someone to fly to Athens, Greece.

I cannot fully remember the scenario, but all I know, It was originally @Rodmagaru who were supposed to be on this trip. Unfortunately, being tied to work and having an expiring passport made him let go of the opportunity (That sucks!). Comes me to the rescue hahaha!

After a few email conversation, it got approved! Scoot is flying me to Greece to experience a Greek Winter Holiday!
