octopus carpaccio

September 4th 2022
Act quickly, think slowly… ~ Greek Proverb HE SAID... Today we were travelling south from Poros to Hydra– by ferry. We had a somewhat sketchy start to the day, thanks in part to a misunderstanding with the carefree and somewhat clueless managers at Hotel Pavlou (our accommodation on Poros), and to our guide’s overly cautious approach to time-management. The hote ... read more

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)!
