Today we rented a car and left Thessaloniki. But first we went looking for the bus company (Simonides) that we will use to leave Greece next week. Their website doesn’t work so we wanted to buy the tickets in person. The first and closest office we walked to told us we had to go to their office at the train station to buy tickets. So we walked there and bought our tickets.


The other good thing that happened this morning is that Duke got a phone call saying his suitcase had arrived in Thessaloniki ! Hallelujah! we asked them to hold the suitcase at the airport because that was where we would pick up the rental car.
After buying our ticket at the train station it was getting close to check out time at our hotel and the hotel was almost 2 miles away. So we got a cab back to the hotel, finished packing, checked out and then got another cab to the airport.
At the airport Duke got his bag and we took the shuttle to the rental car office.


We drove about two hours west from Thessaloniki to Naousa, in the mountains where we are staying at a lovely hotel called Palea Poli Deluxe Boutique Hotel.

Palea Poli Hotel is a lovely cozy place. It is raining outside. We rested and relaxed and had dinner next to the fireplace.





I’m so glad to hear that Duke’s suitcase finally arrived. Shopping for clothes when you are extra tall is really challenging in countries when the average height is under 6’.

That is so true! We looked for socks in one store and didn’t find any. 😊
