Tam and Toby ~~ Hunting Zorba .....Take two.

Tam

Thanks for video and stills. Looks like another nice spot you are in.

You are getting close to Ermioni, which is generally probably not your cup of tea but it does have supermakrets and a food market on the way out of town to the north.(marked on Google maps. The easiest parking for the MH, just to look around is on the S. side of the peninsula, or just leave it near the s/markets. the walk around the park at the end of the peninsula is quite pleasant and for the dogs.

I doubt you will want to stop but you could find somewhere quiete to park on the S. side if you head away from town.

If you wanted to see Hydra town, which is a special place as it is car free and rides up the hill with mostly well-built stone mansions which were the homes of ships Captains when they bought and sold the cargo they carried, then there are hydrofoils from Ermioni, if they are running in the lockdown and if the schedules allow you to get there and back in a day. Timetable should be on the pier.

{Edit - just looked up timetable for this week and you would have to leave at 0640 and not leave Hydra till 1835 - too long to spend there, 2 hours enough and having coffees and lunch would be quite expensive for Greece}

Please keep posting photos of the next 100+ km on 'my patch'

Seems like a mutually beneficial relationship.

Being solo has some advantages but if there's someone to share... it becomes worth cooking, building a fire...
...not just a pot noodle & a film on the laptop.

I'm sure that we would have clubbed together Tam if Jackie didn't have any spare data. You are keeping us sane after all.

 

[Val 3 dogs]

Nice one and a GOLD STAR and big thank you to Jackie.

If you compress the file to a reasonable size first you can now upload it straight to the forum.

You could still compress them before uploading to YouTube to save data.

Beautiful photos Tam so envious of your travels. Carry on the good work. Wonder why the guy was taking photos of the vans some strange people about.

 

[Northernraider]

Got woken this morning by a very black black man ripping the floor of the old hotel up at 7am flew the drone for a few pics and then moved the vans back to the port and went a walk around ermioni
