    After Tom and Kyle to returned to London I continued on another fantastic adventure traveling from island to island on my own Odyssey in 2000AD to visit Santorini and explore more ancient ruins and contemporary culture of Ios, Mikonos and Crete.

    The Greek Islands In the Mediterranean set the stage for a great summer. Whitewashed terraces with narrow staircases poached on the cliffs above the Mediterranean with the blue domes of the churches make an iconic landmark.

    I rented a motor scooter for the week and made some new friends.

    We could pick up a bottle of wine some fresh cheese and salami and have a picnic on the beach or go down the steps to one of many cafes and dine in style.

    The fighter jets were also very impressive and it was interesting to see the evolution of military aviation over the course of several decades with examples of different types of fighter jets and helicopters that we could look at up Close. and touch.
