Howdy Y'All.... Here in beautiful down town Syros.... It is easy to see why the majic of this place draws people in from all over the world.... Blue skies, warm sun, deep blue oceans, clean air and a relaxing atmosphere that is just paradise.... Every day is full of new things to see, people to interact with, places that move a different pace to the one that we are accostomed to... The people I am sailing with are just faboulos - we have bonded really well and thoroughly enjoy each others company.... I slept in this morning until 8.30 (WTF)!!! Sherri had to give me a poke last night, cos I was snoring so loud - but that was justifyable payback from her previous nights performance.... Vicki is a sensational lady with multi lingual skills, she ... read more

Athens...Well after a huge day of transit through Austria & Germany (6 trains one plane and a Psycho taxi ride) I am here....

Melk - What an incredible town - truely just like something out of a storybook - Benedictine Monestry I have video and heaps of photos of this magnificent building that was first started around 1000bc.. People devoted the whole of their lifetimes in constructing it and sadly never got to see the end result that we get today... Totally marvelled at the precision of every line, sphere, curves etc... No modern tooling, yet perfection and meticulous workmanship that has been built to stand for many more centuries.... You note that all of these fabulous structures are perched atop of the steepest locations, great for detering invaders, but really crap for tourist access (Talk about bad forward planning - they should have given us some consideration when they started these things 1000 years ago).... Out of Melk ... read more
