Another Country, Another Strike
For those of you who have read my Italy pages, you know that four times, I have been in the middle of a strike. Greece was no exception.We were driving on a main highway from Thessaloniki to Athens when our tour bus stopped behind a long line of traffic. The driver waited and waited and then he got out of the bus and found out that the road was closed because the farmers were striking. They were protesting the high taxes. There had been political unrest after the election of a new President. We were delayed for one and a half hours. The traffic was backed up as far as the eye could see. We had to go back to a small village and take another road around the blocked area and through the mountains.The picture is of our bus and one of the men on our tour is outside the bus. You can see the traffic behind us.
