The Naylors in Germany & Beyond

One of our favorite things was that there were hardly any other tourists. This made for so many enjoyable and peaceful experiences.  The adventure began when we traveled by train to Vienna, Austria and then from there took a flight to Athens. Upon arrival in Athens they were doing random COVID-19 testing and guess who was lucky enough to be chosen? Yep, me and Drew :) (The results were negative just by the way!) Our fist night in Athens we went and had Mexican food for dinner (LOL!). Maybe it has been too long since I've had real Mexican food but it was really delicious!  The next day we had breakfast on the hotel rooftop with wonderful views of the Acropolis. We then made our way up towards the Acropolis so we could tour the grounds. Ther...
