Nea Peramos
Day 53. 17.5.23. Nea Peramos After a couple of hours’ of boy racer entertainment on the harbour, the night quietened down and we had a peaceful sleep. Surprising as I thought the fishing boats would wake us on their way out. There was beach next to our car park but we decided to try another…

Ancient Thebes to Delphi
Day 51. 15.5.23 Eretria to Delphi via Thiva (ancient Thebes) Woke up early this morning and took Meg for a walk around the site and on the beach. As we got back to the van there was a loud but distant rumble that went on for quite a while. I thought, it’s definitely an airplane…
