bye bye greece

Our routine in Greece went something like this: pancakes and fruit for breakfast; sailing lesson; sunbathing by the pool; a slow lunch followed by kayaking or paddle-boarding, a swim to the Goat Island beach; a shower followed by aperitifs, dinner and drinks in the bar. 

Sometimes we wandered into town for dinner, souvenir shopping and a walk by the harbour. One night we took a boat taxi home. The water was black and smooth and the boat was covered in little flags and white lights.

Reading Captain Corelli's Mandolin with the heady smell of pine in afternoon sun and the sound of cicadas was pretty perfect.
