Been in Athens since Monday. Currently in a natural salt water lake where all the fish eat your skin.
32 degrees bloody wonderful.

In Glyfada which is very Greek. Haven't seen a tourist yet but they all speak a bit of English.

Really jealous of all you guys, have a fantastic trip and show those Greeks what great supporters we are.
I go to Zante on holiday in 3 weeks and would love to be able to go with a Clarets win.

Not had the chance to go to ANY of the games yet (home or away) :(

I'll be there for some of the group games should we make it.

Extremely envious of all you Clarets who've been enjoying the tour so far. I hope it continues to be a blast.....

Part 2 of this journey now, after a lovely 6 hours in Corfu, we are now waiting to take off to Athens. A good dozen or so Clarets on this flight and easily a couple if dozen left in Corfu.
In an hours time we will hopefully be joining the rest of you already in Athens.

I tried Tuesday. Went to the Parthenon today. Extreme heat.
Recovered and had beers back in Omonia. Chatted to Norwegian Claret, who shares a similar Burnley following history to me.

Clarets everywhere. Many with Euro Tour T shirts....smelly by the time the match is over!

Up the Clarets.

Nice way to travel, Macca. I didn't realize that the biggest yacht in the world is owned by a Burnley fan.

Lucky ********* all of you. Still, the royal we shall bask in the reflected glory of the event.

My son's in transit from Laos via Singapore as I type. Scheduled to get into Athens at 8.45 am this morning local time. At Singapore he met fellow Claret coming up from Perth Australia. We really are cosmopolitan.
Can I just wish my son and all travelling Clarets a memorable and enjoyable trip for all the right reasons. Take Care everybody and stay safe.
