Year 1969 ?
This was our first stop of the expedition. We stayed here 3 three days staying in a school. We visited a Greek Scout troop and toured the city. We left by train to the port Alexandrpolis.
Here at Alexandropolis we caught the ferry to the island of Samothraki.
On this island we camped for a week. On arrival I was tired and hot and wanted to swim. I think there was almost a revolt amongst the Scouts. Next day, after a relaxing night things were much better. We spent alot of time walking. Was a fabulous time.
After Samothraki, we went to Mount Olympus. We stayed in the mountain hut for three nights. Singing scout songs with the Greeks under the stars in front of fires to keep warm. Bad start, long walk up. No food in the mountain hut, it was totally full of Greeks as it was a holiday period. They quickly glazed the veranda so we could sleep in the warm. The next nights were spend in the hut as most of the Greeks departed.
Final stay was Athens were again we stayed in a Scool near the center of Athens. Basicaly saw the tourist bits.
