  • Rest and relaxation on some Cretan beaches

    Rest and relaxation on some Cretan beaches

    As I touched on previously, I’ve managed to successfully adapt to the slow-pace of life here in low-season, Crete. With the weather comparably fantastic for this time of year, I’ve spent the last couple of days relaxing down by the sea which isn’t a bad way to spend time in mid-November. Speaking of this time of the […]

  • The fifth largest Mediterranean island – reached!

    The fifth largest Mediterranean island – reached!

    I’ve done it folks! I’m so chuffed to have made it to my fifth (and final) Mediterranean island; the island of Crete – or Creta as it’s pronounced outside of England and a pronunciation I’ve actually come to prefer.

    Finally (the above) came today folks – after 43 days! And it lasted just over an hour as I got bored. No seriously. As such this is only a short post covering a couple of un-connecting things but here is proof of me chillaxing. Check out the lethal trainer-sock tan line! Late last night after […]

  • My 30-something birthday in Corfu

    My 30-something birthday in Corfu

    Or Kérkyra as it is spelt here. Ever since I departed Athens those weeks ago, I knew it was a case of when not if I would return to Greece. Honestly folks, I really can’t say enough about how lovely   the people are, how relaxing their way of life is and what a peaceful […]
