This site is sort of a journal of my travels or even a journal of when I am not traveling but have nothing better to do. One problem is with my life these days is that I have so many e-mails to answer that keeping any kind of journal is difficult because after answering fifity e-mails asking about ferry schedules, which island is 'better'?, where to
eat, who to trust and so on, the last thing I want to do is pour out my innermost thoughts for travelers to read. Usually I just want to take a swim or get a drink or try to find where my family has wandered off to while I was staring at my laptop. But the truth is that when I am traveling in Greece a lot of little things do happen that make interesting reading and that if I don't write them down are often forgotten until I am somehow reminded of them and am nowhere near a computer and then they are forgotten
again. So I have organized these writings by the date and the places they cover. Hopefully you will find them useful or at least enjoyable.
