we are surviving greece. thanks to the beach and the sea. we roatate between the ocean and the sand. maybe tomorrow we will take to the sea on a catermeran. if the wind is up anyway. and if we are brave enough, we will rent a moped – the standard transport in these parts – [...]
after a few days, the ever-present sound of the giant crickets starts to fade away into the background. which is good, because it is really loud. having a wonderful time. wearing lots of sunblock and swimming in very large waves, snorkeling in peaceful bays and watching numerous fish. it is also very very hot. we [...]
