... of the Paleo Frourio, an old Venetian fort. That was pretty cool. Then, late this afternoon we went through the Archaeological Museum. We didn't spend much time here since it was close to closing time and we were all tired from the water park.

That evening though we ate at our first authentic Greek taverna, we found one playing Greek music ...

... and not at all a balcony. Hence needing help climbing.

And then. There are all those people that just annoy the **** out of me. I'm telling you what, "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." is crossing my mind about 20 times a day. It's like everybody wants to be the first one on the bus, the first one off the bus, the first one in the buffet line, the first one in the signup line, the first one... you get the picture. I keep ...

... it looked like they were kung fu kicking in slow motion and they walked like this for nearly half a block. Our thighs ached on their behalf.

Olympia next stop and we enjoyed sitting on the water’s edge at a café enjoying the scenery and atmosphere of the quaint seaside town.

Story continued on next blog, as either Robyn the official blog writer is writing too much or Chris the official blog photographer is taking too many pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!

... Everyone on the boat was being sick in the toilets in the sick bags it was vile and even the staff on the boat were at it. Anyways was looking at Ian and he had gone a funny colour next minute he grabbed the sick bag and was really ill. I could not help it but was laughing while I was rubbing his back but the noices where making me and Katy ill couldnt look at him. We finally docked at Bari a whole 14 hours later and I swear I am never ever doing a boat ride like that again.

... actually allowed to do that....). Eventually docked on the main land at this little beach which had a random nightclub / restaurant / waterpark complex and nothing else. A bit odd but a pretty perfect combination really. So we showered and had drinks on board the boats before dinner of chicken souvlaki, more Greek salad, dips, chips... a whole lot. So delish. I looooved the Greek food. And we had the funniest thing happen at dinner. We'd just finished our entrees ...

... turned into quite a spacious bed. And in the main area there was a little sink, fridge, gas stove and lots of storage space - and there was even a bathroom in the middle. Very cool little boats. And so our crew was me, Dean, Erika, Dangerous Dave and Leanne (/ Lee). It was the best crew ever and we seriously had the most amazing time. But I'm getting ahead of myself! So Lee (our captain) had a meeting with the guys in charge of the sailing and all the other ...

... they spend a lot of time relaxing, because they live on an island. I have only one dislike. The water was too cold and dirty for my taste, but there are a lot of swimming pools around, so I didn't need to swim in the open. This journey was a fun journey and I will never forget it.

... concerned about the ª**** and roll around in itª mentality the culprits had developed. Maybe it cost them too much money to dispose of it and this was their solution. Lucky this didnºt happen back home in the 90ºs when the local council started charging residents for trash disposal. On the bright side of things though, the rubbish had helped to conceal a wallet laying on the roadside. Some poor American tourist looks like heºs fallen victim to a pickpocket. It was void of ...

... British people where shops advertised B&H cigarettes and the News of the World. At one of these we stopped at a supermarket and bought provisions that we packed into the compartment under the seat of the bike. As we came around the eastern side, ash began to fall from the sky and we realised that the fire, which had been burning far below us when viewed from the monastery, was now burning above us. A helicopter swooped low with a large bucket hanging pendulously ...
