Jumping in Front of the Acropolis

France is a lovely country to live in, especially in May when the month is littered with bank holidays — isn't that great?

Taking advantage of two consecutive bank holidays, J. and I took a break from our busy Parisian lives to spend five days in Greece: the first half in Athens and the second half on Santorini Island.

Athens was nice, although I was a bit let down. I had in mind a city like Rome or Paris, full of history on every corner. Of course, there are large, beautiful, and major sites, but the city itself felt gray and unattractive to me. Okay, maybe it was due to the fact that the day before departure to Greece, I had two of my wisdom teeth removed and may not have been in the best happy-go-lucky mindset during the first days of my stay in Athens :)

But whining aside, I enjoyed the Acropolis and the views from there very much. And as usual, the place was a great base to start jumping. J. accepted to be the jumping photographer of the trip, and she really lived up to the challenge!

After Athens, we headed to Santorini, a little island that is part of the Cyclades. That island, and the place we stayed at, the Santorini Princess Hotel & Spa, were truly gorgeous. So gorgeous that we even forgot to jump there… #FAIL.
