The Drive North to Patras
... not enough time to see it all. There is both a Turkish mosque and a Christian church inside the walls as well as a huge main square.
Next stop was a popular beach area at Zaharo where we stopped for a swim and lunch. It was quite curious when a man was walking his dog on the beachfollowed by his sheep.

Summertime, and the livin' is Peloponn-easy

I made it on the train but with only seconds to spare. Once again the weather was glorious and ...

... cove.
Shock, embarrassment, fear, surprise, anger, despair, so many emotions at once, knowing that I drove that boat straight into a reef. Believe it or not, I've never actually hit anything in a boat before. But first things first, get close to shore, get safe, check for damage.
After 5 failed attempts, we finally go the anchor to hold with the full 100 meters of chain and the oversize anchor in 5 meters of water. Even when we did ...
