The White Tower, Thessolonika

We saw the White Tower in the morning, paid a visit of enquiring to the railway station – fares to Turkey too expensive! And also a visit to the post office – no mail!  After a picnic lunch we went for a half-hour boat trip on the bay in a small motor driven vessel, captained by a crafty individual who conducted a raffle on board, and then won the prize himself – naturally the passengers were furious. And I thought they would throw him overboard!

Thessolonika, Greece

Thessalonika is the second largest city in Greece and very beautiful.  On the horizon of the bay can be seen the snow covered Olympus – home of the Gods!  We still kept to the pretence of being Swedes – although frequently we were mistaken for Germans!  The Germans apparently quite popular!
