      Well, we flew to Athens via Singapore. After flying for two hours from
Athens, we arrived in Hydra where our relatives were. The interesting thing
about Hydra is that no vehicle are allowed. We have to walk to get anywhere.
People often get around on horses of mules. After Hydra, we visited Satorini by
ferry. Then, we took a high speed catamaran to Mykonos. At least in Mykonos
they have taxis and buses so we did not have to walk to go anywhere. From
Mykonos we flew to the island of Skiathos where we spent a lovely week
visiting beach and eating wonderful Greek food. Finally, it was time to go back
to Athens and ended our trip. After wandering around the old part of the city
and taking lots of photos of the Acropolis and other ancient Greek monument
and statues, we had get my taxi to the airport.

      We often hear lots of stories from regarding people taking spill on
motorcycle when they are riding without using helmet. Mostly the riders badly
end up in mess. Wearing a fitted protective helmet offers many benefits which
reduces the negatives aspects of riding. 
      First and the most important is that wearing the correct helmet can save
rider’s life, physical ability, family pain, and money. The recommended design
of motorcycle helmets can provide total protection. They do not only protect
riders from getting a worse road injured accident but also from flaying bugs,
such as  rain, sleet, mud, and other potential projectiles.
      Second, wearing a helmet can give the riders a matter of style. Helmet give
the opportunity for rider to express the image they may want to protect when
riding on the way. This benefit may not be important to some people, but to
other, it means a lot and important. By choosing the most appropriate helmet
from all of the various styles, such as beanie,  German, and many others,
wearing a helmet which can project an images is an inherent crucial part of
motorcycling and help riders feel more confident when riding on the road.
      However, what most important is wearing helmet when riding is matter of
using it properly. Bikers should use the helmets which are fixed to their head. It
is really not good if they place simply the helmets on the head without settling
them properly. The bikers should fasten the helmet correctly to their head in
order to get safe and comfort.
