Diary Entry

Dear diary,

It is the third day we are spending in Greece. Here in Vourvourou (in Khalkidhiki peninsula), the green mountains combines in a spectacular way with the diamond blue sea.

Today is a big day. We are going to ride a boat and visit the wonderful island near our resort. I heard that is a special place. And my father will ride by himself a boat. I can’t wait.

There was more than I expected. I felt extraordinary. I had such a feeling of freedom and happiness when the boat was flying over the waves. When the boat was running very fast, I laugh with all my soul and heart. Really, I never felt so happy in my life. People usually don’t realize that they are happy in that moment, but looking retrospectively. But for me in those moments the happiness was palpable. I was happy and I knew it. The beauty of the landscapes was completing that amazing state. I felt like I was in Haven. I wished it would never finish!

And some other extraordinary feeling was to jump over the boat in to the deep crystal clear water.

I can’t say how beautiful it is to swim between colorful algae and fishes of all shapes and sizes. Here, if you make snorkeling, you can discover sea urchins (avoid them) and the amazing underwater world.
