Hopefully Brian’s starting to learn that everything doesn’t need to be in ‘brand new’ condition to be functional. But I love him for caring so much. I go too much the other way. I would rather things be rickety and worn than new. There’s quite a few things on my bike being held together with duct tape which are asking for ...

The first thing we discovered is that any time you wish to board the boat you have to walk six feet across a 12 inch wide plank. One slip and you are into the water. Try doing that after a couple of drinks or with our big suitcases.

Our fellow passengers were all from Canada. Our captain’s name was Steve. Steve was a school teacher, and his family was from Greece. He had married a Greek woman and was now living in Athens. Steve’s assistant was Janelle ...

... 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.

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 thought of it, but in the end, we all went for it! And it was so worth it!!! Bekah was the only one that had been on one before, and we all needed practice before zooming out at top speed. The lady renting them to us was even a little nervous renting them to us in case we were to get in an accident and we hardly knew how to drive them. The first time I had a go of it, I was a little shaky, but within an hour I had the hang of it. One person would pull up the ...

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?

... 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.
