... My front range sprocket’s rivets are coming loose and Brian has no way of repairing them since they’re rivets and not bolts. He would have to replace the whole arrangement (which of course I have not let him to). Also, my grip shifts are cracked and ready to fully bust. Of course now, considering where we are, he’ll not be able to get the parts readily. So ...

... only one very large fan. We decided to purchase it, and it was a great help to us that night. After that we referred to our cabin as the “luxury suite”

The next day we headed to the island of Poros. We finally put our sails for a little while that day and used that in combination with our motor to make our way there.

We arrived at the next dock and discovered that we could not hook up to electricity because we did not have a good cable for it. After a ...

Zakynthos is a rather small island in the Ionian Sea and it can be easily reached. If you go by car you will arrive by ferry in Zante, the capital of the island. Zante is the largest town on the island and, in my opinion, the most beautiful. It has small streets, bars, resaurant, shops, and a beautiful promenade. The port is clean and if you look carefully you will find some nice places. Now, it depends what you like, what you want to do, what you came for. If you are a party fun, the ...

Visited Ancient Olympia where ancient Olympics were held for
centuries. Held at site of Zeus' Temple. In the museum they have the

... some recorder and harp at the tent and attracted the attention of various small beings, notably wee Jurgen from an adjacent pitch who brought along his little glockenspiel to jam along... Later on, Paul went back to the olive orchard to play louder flutes. The weather had brightened up completely and it was a fine evening; we finished up at the bar for beers and I thrashed Paul at merels despite his over-confident talk.

... not open properly until August. Despite my best efforts, we coulnd't wangle our way in! Still, what there was to see already was very interesting and it looks like it will be an excellent display with an accurate and pleasing acceptance of cross-ethnic influences. As it stands, it would need greater contextualisation for the average visitor - however, this may well be addressed in the whol exhibition.

... late. Fortunately, another Greek lady that spoke English had the same destination as us and was able to show us which bus to get on and explain things a bit because these bus systems are not the most clear things in the world. The bus had already picked up a bunch of people along the route so when we got on, we finished filling the last open seats scattered throughout the bus. This means I had that extra little seat in the way back that is in the middle of 5 ...

Isn't that funny? I love sun, heat, swimming-pool, seaside, but I got bored in such conditions on Zakynthos. I thought as if I was in a cage. Touristic zone, small Porta Koukla, near Laganas - was too small for the city dweller like me. One restaurant and two shops when I could pay with credit cards. Is it EU at all? With such a huge touristic demand and therfore experience they didn't think much of the facilities.

... održavaju se u čast Agios Dionisiosa, zaštitnika Zakintosa. Prvi od dva festivala održava se 24. avgusta a obeležava dana kada je telo ovog svetca premešteno iz manastira Strofadia u crkvu Agios Dionysios gde se i danas nalazi.  Drugi festival obeležava se 17. decembra kada je ovaj svetac umro.  Oba festivala traju po tri dana a sastoje se u nizu religioznih ceremonija praćenih tradicionalnim plesom i muzikom.

... gonna be mashed all week anyway. So here begins 'lads holiday' in Zante, cant really write much for all the days, because there was too much going on, basically a mash-up of booze, lad-fest, gyros, buoyment, northerns etc. But it was a good experience but dont think i will be rushing back there soon! After Zante, Me, Jacob and Newlan started our interrail journey and we didnt know what to expect!!
