“Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.”

– Randy Pausch

After Ios, we headed to the Greek island of Naxos for five days. Loved it!

Here are a few shots:

We rented a quad one day to tour the island. Em drove the entire day…ten hours! What a trooper – she did a fantastic job! Her arms were aching by the end of it. I sat on the back like a princess…happily navigating and snapping photos 🙂

What a magical day…it was one of our favourite days of the whole trip!

Here are some pics:

Thanks for reading & have a wonderful week! 

Happy MA on Naxos 🙂

  1. Looks awesome! Glad you had fun! Greece is one of my top two favourite places, though I’ve never been to Naxos.

  2. Looks like you two are having a fabulous adventure. Thanks for sharing the photos! Maybe don’t make Em drive for 10 hrs a day? Glad you’re having fun!!!

  3. No, I won’t ask Em to drive for 10 hours a day again…promise!! That was a bit much. But I sure had fun 🙂 We are back home now! Hope you are doing well…I will e-mail you to set up a time for a long-overdue phone chat!
    Take care,
