Hotel Esperia Laganas

... tape. Then in Brittany France, Brian bought us both new racks and I was livid! His was repaired and holding fine, and mine wasn’t even broken (yet - he said).

Well, my ‘new’ rack cracked a weld the other day going up and down train station stairs on the way to Venice, and Brian’s went today. Great, 2 broken racks. So out comes the string and ...

THE TRIP BACK HOME

FROM POROS PORT IN KEFALONIA, TO KYLINI (PELOPONYSOS)

The day is beautiful today, and there is sunshine.

It is windy however, and we decided to return from Kilini instead, just one and a half hours in the Ferry.

... can just lie on your back and float with little fear of sinking. It is much different than swimming in the Atlantic, Caribbean, or Pacific.

That evening, Steve and Janelle prepared a spaghetti dinner for us to eat on the boat. When night came the air grew more humid and still. The temperature hardly cooled off at all, and it had to be well over 100f in our very tiny cabin. Rich thought he would die as he lay there sweating and unable to sleep for hours. John slept a bit ...

... is deffenetly the place to be. Laganas is full of bars, clubs and pubs. Be carefuul, if you arrive at the begining of the week you won't have to much activity. I went in Laganas on Monday and there were few fellows, but on Friday was madness! Depending on your budget, you can find cheap food, drink and accomodation, or luxurious hotels and spas, fancy restaurants and seafood delicacy.

The island is for anyone, any age, any taste. Buy a map of the island because the nicest ...

Visited Ancient Olympia where ancient Olympics were held for

... tourists in town! and after a short walk about we settled down for a drink at the bus station cafe. As usual once off the beaten track the prices were incredibly cheap, and it was an excellent frappe as well. Then we set off to find the church.

I'd gained no clear idea of its location in the town, making me suspect in retrospect that the guidebooks that mention it are based on report and not on first-hand ...

... had a drink at the bar and eventually utterly demolished a six pack of Amstel at the tent - to retire in quite a merry state at around midnight.


Waking earlyas usual the next morning (Friday 10th July), we were able to make a substantial breakfast from our supplies before heading up the hill to take a look at the Kastro. It was my second visit, but Paul's first and he was suitably ...

... The beaches were more sandy down there but the ones on the north were much more beautiful. We went back through the little town of Argassi before heading back. It was so much fun to cruise around the little island on vespas but we had to return them before 9pm. We returned them, and despite my blistered hands, the owner was quite impressed with our skills even though this was our first time on them.

None of us had had dinner, or anything to eat really ...

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.
