From here to Naxos in 12 easy steps

It begun, as things often do, with an invitation to lunch. But if I was going to go to all the trouble of feeding three hungry Greek women, I had better get something in return. And I did: Naxos.

1. It all started innocuously enough, early in the morning. Might as well get a swim in first, before they pour in, so loaded up on essential beach wear:


2. Not enough time to dabble at the beach today, so a quick pass by the harbour. New ferries are in:



3. I can at least pick up some Jamaican coffee on the way back, from the designer coffee shop:






 4. Right, let's head back and do this thing. No more fighting windmills:



5. Now to find something to cook. Hmm...let's see - aha!Nature, the Great Provider, sends something my way:


6. Looks good, but these are Greeks we're talking about, this will barely be a starter...

7. They're here, and they're ready to dive in. If only they knew!
8. Now they're fed, finally time to get some use out of them. Firstly,  going to give one of them to my big neighbour, for helping me out tomorrow with the paining. He gets to pick which one:


9. Secondly, they must give me suggestions for the perfect Greek island to go to in late Aug/Sept. Going to have some more ice cold coffee and mull it over...


10. Naxos it is!


11. Not too far away from Athens, some of the best beaches in Greece and great food! But before then, it's almost afternoon...blargh...gotta get started on some actual work for today:

12. Going downstairs to get cracking on the scrubbing with these, see you soon. In the meantime...
...relaaax!
