I have to say one of my favorite vacation spots would be Greece. I have not been in over a decade but those memories are forever etched in my mind. Greece is very rich in culture and the food is to die for. I was just a kid at the time but I recall the savory taste of Gyro and Souvlaki sold on every corner. I recall riding on the bus with my sister and watching people genuflect each time we rode past a church. I thought that was kind of weird initially but cultivated the habit of doing the same towards the end of my trip. I even learnt how to speak a little bit and still know how to count from 1 to 10. Don’t ask why.
My favorite memory was when I went out on a little cruise ship with my family. I still remember my outfit; a purple skirt with a matching blouse and red with black polka dot headband (hey, don’t laugh at the color combination; we all were not born fashionistas).
I also remember visiting the largest toy store I had ever seen in my life and walking out with a pair of roller skates and a ninja turtle skateboard while my sisters were gawking at their new Barbie dolls.
I remember my aunt promising to take me to this huge theme park but we ended up at this small park where the most exciting ride was a giant ferry wheel. Imagine my disappointment. I decided to enjoy myself anyway. Just when I was getting in the groove of things, she says it’s time to go home. I ranted and raved till she gave me a dirty slap. Then I knew what was up.
I have been saying I will go back soon but with all the weddings taking place in Nigeria lately, all my vacation has been spent on taking trips to the motherland. But I am hoping all my friends get hitched by the end of this year so I can take a break.
Have you been to any exciting or breathtaking places? Please share, maybe you can take me with you next time ; )

Yeah. Greece was nice. I remember aunty decking you. lol. but you did have a sharp mouth.
I have to agree the food is to die for. Fattening though. I remember one time after spending almost two months over there, I came home 'FAT' (Fat by Nigerian standards). Everyone kept on making silly comments. You know naijas never mind their business.
The food really is to die for, lamb, cheese, greek salads, gyro and souvlaki, chocolate filled croissants, milko, goody's chef salad (i think that's the name of the place) and some place i'd always get pizza from (the pizza there is so so greasy)
And you just have to love the multiple Zara locations (don't get much of that here).I'd go back anytime any day.
Oh yeah and the clubs by the water/beach...both indoors and outdoors..I think around that Glyfada area. I'm bad with city names. I need to make a scrap book when next I go.
