While Mike was on his gas errand to Athens yesterday, I took the opportunity to swipe his bike and go for a spin along the coast. I took the GoPro, but it is an insanely bumpy video. I need a mount with shock absorbers or something. I’ll add it to the list.
I was looking for a turnoff that seemed to be a pretty major road on the map, but I missed it and accidentally biked all the way to the boatyard. When I backtracked I realized that my road was little more than an alleyway. Very steep and narrow, but again, drivers were fast but careful (I assume, as I did not get hit, knock on wood).
I was very smart and wore my bathing suit under my clothes on the bike ride. I had a grand plan to jump in the glorious, empty pool as soon as I returned to the hotel. The pool was indeed empty, but it was surrounded by about thirty kids on a group home vacation who’ve been staying at the hotel the past couple days. Moment of truth–screw it, I hopped in.
Today I walked to town in search of a WiFi antenna extender. Timed it just wrong as all the electronics stores were closed for siesta, but I did manage to get a couple of nice, new pillows for 6€ each and in the process got rid of my torn 50€ bill that no one seemed to want to take. Faced with a torn bill or no sale, the lady chose torn bill. Whew, I was starting to think that money wasn’t going to work anywhere.
Today is the last day of boat prep, planning to put her in the water tomorrow. We are about to begin life in seriously close quarters. I’m sure it will be fine…
I love this! So happy for both of you!
Miss you, Kath. Great photos.
Miss you too, doll. Take care of that noggin of yours. Big hug to Steve. Think of you both often.
