Hi Derek,

Greetings from Athens! My family and I arrived on Sunday and we're having a great time. Weather's hot and sunny and there's a beautiful swimming pool in our hotel. It's my favourite place to go. Swim every morning and sunbathe until lunchtime. Go sightseeing in the afternoons then try local dishes in evenings. They are delicious. Going on a boat trip around some islands tomorrow.

Wish you were here,

Erik
