Greece 9th – 15th June

My trip to Paros was amazing. Not only was it fantastic to see P&T but Paros was a fantastic place to hang out. Our days consisted of yoga practice every morning and every second afternoon and then either out and about seeing the sights of Paros or lazing around at the beautiful beaches. It was a fantastic week!

If you're ever in Paros it's an absolute must - we ended up eating there twice. The first time we walked between villages and stopped here for some afternoon tea. You have never tasted strawberry pie like this and it was almost a spoon fight to see who got the last tastes.

We went back the next night for dinner and it was amazing. Dolmades, stuffed eggplant, gnocchi - all home made and so delicious.

THE Lefkes cafe


There are geraniums everywhere in Paros and these bright red splotches looked so pretty against the rocky hill.

The man who owned this restaurant had lived in Australia and worked all over the world as an engineer - he prefers to live on Paros and run this restaurant (which only opens for six months of the year!).

T and I DIY spa-ing at the beach.

You can collect the mud at one of the beaches, cover yourself in it and then bake in the sun. When the mud is dry you scrub it off and your skin feels amazing.
