... 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 ...

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.

... at least get a fan that he could use. Then we discovered that all of the sailboats at the dock had electricity except ours! Apparently, our captain did not have the correct cables for connecting up to electricity at the dock. Finally, someone at the dock let us borrow a cable for connecting up. So, refusing to suffer another night of being unable to sleep in the heat, Rich and John set off in search of some type of electric fan to use in their cabin. After much hunting we ...

... 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 ...

villiage they had buildings for officials and athletes with sleeping
quarters, baths, training facilities and of course the stadium.

... sea-watered. It was actually warmer in the sea than out.

Special mention now of a heroic rescue by Paul, which requires a special mention in dispatches. Walking back from the beach was fraught with peril, as the lively waves had totally licked up the narrow sandy path round to our section of the sand and we had to pick our way over a rocky section and through the water - leaving me with very wet, sandy and ...

... all a sandy beack just down the hill. In sum, although we had originally planned on just a night here, we swiftly decided to stay longer (in the end we did three nights). A late afternoon swim followed by bargain beer obtained from the shop contributed to this sage decision...

In the early evening Paul played his flute for a while in an handy adjacent olive grove, as the sun set into the sea. We ...

The breakfast at the hotel in Olympia was on the 4th floor Saturday morning which we thought was strange but when we got up there, we could see why it was there! Huge windows were on all the sides of the breakfast room and there was a little outside patio. We were at the base of a hill and you could look out over the city and nearby hills. Olympia is a small city but it's in the midst of some hills and it gave a gorgeous view. We were amazed at how ...

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?

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.
