Areopoli: footpaths, anthropiverous spiders, and irritability
Thursday’s exertions had taken a lot out of me so I opted for a gentle amble along footpaths heading to a beach and swimming. Because I wasn’t focused on the need to get from A to B and back within … Continue reading

Again cloudless, warm start to the Friday. Wished the couple from Llanelli ‘Bore da’ at the WiFix taverna and had a another good chat with them before ambling back to the supermarket to buy water and had a long chat … Continue reading
Corfu: path finding, bird spotting and providence
