Hello folks!

Apart from a horrendous journey to get here all's great.

I'm sitting on the steps of the apartment now "borrowing" a connection from the neighbouring block. Place is fine though bathroom is the size of a postage stamp, local taverna very friendly, good food and cheap!. sea is a stone's throw away.

Been sailing every day and had a two hour sailing lesson with the lovely Anna this afternoon eyes:

I'm very relaxed. 8)

Title: Re: Uncle's diary from Greece
Post by: Uncle Mort on August 07, 2011, 05:13:17 PM: Have found the Germans. Not wrinkly though, as they are all, how shall I put this? somewhat corpulent.

Anyway, have left the sailing at Nikiana behind and have taken up residence in a resort hotel on Corfu. It's full of Germans! Have decided to whistle the tune from from The Great Escape at every opportunity.

Nothing much to report, just chilling out now. 8)
