Keeping up with this blog has been a bit tougher than I thought it would be! So much to do with such little time spent around reliable wifi.
Since the last time I wrote, we've learned roughly 13 different phrases in Greek. We're practically fluent!

On Saturday afternoon, we boarded a train to Lake Kerkini. Everything was going smoothly until the train came to a dead stop 30 minutes into our trip. We later learned that an obstacle on the tracks caused damage to the engine, which caused a delay that lasted for almost an hour and a half. Luckily, we had books, angry elderly Greek women, and staring contests to keep us from getting too bored.
Once we arrived at our hotel on the lake, we all agreed that the trouble we experienced while traveling was worth it! The hotel was absolutely adorable and, once again, the Greek cuisine did not fail to impress. (Have you tried water buffalo meat before? The 10 of us strongly recommend it.)
Our two days spent on Lake Kerkini were jam packed with biking, barbecuing, archery, canoeing and off-roading up the mountain. Thanasis and the owner of the hotel told us about the lake's impact on Greece and gave us some information about the animals that rely on the lake.
Saying farewell to Lake Kerkini was difficult. None of us wanted to leave, but it was time to head back to Thessaloniki and continue our journey.
