Page 4 Lefkas Post Three Islands and a Motorbike After spending a fantastic summer cruising around the Ionian Islands in our yacht, my husband and I decided to do a little island hopping on our motorbike. We set off from our home base in Vassiliki, Lefkada, travelled to Patra on the mainland, then hopped by ferry to Zakynthos, Kefalonia and then back home to Lefkada. A four day round trip of approximately 450 kilometres. We set off on the 9th September in glorious weather and took the coast road via Paleros, Mytikas, Astakos, then inland to Messolonghi and on to Patra. For car drivers and bikers alike, this is a spectacular route with breathtaking scenery. The views of Kastos and Kalamos were particularly impressive. It took approx. 3.5 hours to get to our hotel in Patra and this included a coffee and lunch stop en route. We stayed at the Astir Hotel (www.hotelastirpatras.gr) at a cost of 48.00 euro for the room and 4.00 for garage parking. This grand, slightly faded hotel is in a great location (walking distance from all the action in Patra). Patra is a University city and is buzzing with great shops, bars and tavernas. by Debbie White From the town, we travelled a short distance to the tourist resort of Kalamaki. We picked this location because it seemed a good base to visit the turtle beaches in the south and the spectacular mountain area of Keri and, of course, take a peek at the notorious tourist area of Laganas. We stayed at Aeolos Boutique Resort (www.aeolos-resort.gr) in a delightful studio for 35.00 euro. All the resort areas in this location are focussed on British visitors so ‘pubs’, English breakfast, Indian food and draft beer are the order of the day. However, for the one night we stayed here, we found it a great base and food and drink were excellent value. A visit to the village of Keri and the sunset viewing area nearby is an absolute must. The following morning after a full English breakfast costing 3.45 euro each (well, when in Rome…!), we set off for a more Greek experience. The ride across the fertile plain from Kalamaki in the south to Ayios Nikolaos in the north was beautiful. We passed through typical Greek villages and lush countryside seemingly untouched by tourism. We arrive at Skinari, which is approx. 1 km from Ayios Nikolaos, home of the famous blue caves. We checked into The Blue House Studios, 31.00 euro including a very basic breakfast (www.bluehousestudios.gr) and headed for the port. Everybody and his dog offer blue cave trips. We took the first on offer and paid 10 euro each for a one hour trip, including a swim, in a small glass bottom boat. This turned out to be a good choice as the boat could fit inside all the caves. The water is indeed inky blue and our captain took great delight in showing us coral, fish, and high rocky ledges inside the caves from which diving was encouraged! The best time to visit is in the morning as there are less boats and less swell. Trips to the famous Shipwreck beach are also on offer here but we’d had our fill and so, back on the bike we headed north along the coast road towards the lighthouse. We found a great taverna for lunch, right on the cliff top with access down to the blue caves for swimming or boat trips. Accommodation is also available in one of two windmills (www.potamitisbros.gr). The next day we set off for the ferry port at Kyllini, approx 1.5 hours away from our hotel. The cost for two people and a ‘moto’ to Zakynthos was 29.00 euro and the very pleasant journey took just one hour. We had heard mixed reports about the town of Zakynthos, but on arrival we found it a lovely place to wander around, with lots of narrow alleyways, beautiful flowers and interesting shops. The next day, we said goodbye to our very friendly Greek hotel owner and the resident cockerel and caught the 9.45 ferry (26.00 euro in total) from the port at Ayios Nikolaos to Pessadha in the south of Kefalonia, a residential area where the village road ends in a slip for the ferry. From here we meandered through the countryside to Argostoli and then took the coast road onward to Fiskardho. The views were spectacular. However, we made a big mistake not taking the Sami route as a small section of the road near Assos had been completely lost in the recent earthquake and we had a 10 km diversion over the mountain. Going up on our moto was bad enough but at the top the tarmac disappeared and we descended all the way down on gravel. Not for the faint hearted. On reaching Fiskardho, we checked into the Fiscado Studios complex (www.fiscadostudios.com), which was situated right in the heart of the village. At 40 euro for a small studio, this was excellent value and is highly recommended. Fiskardho, as most of us know, is a beautiful place to wander around and we spent a lovely afternoon and evening taking in the sights, all topped off with a great Thai meal in The Lord Falcon (lordfalcon.com). The next day was the final leg of our journey. We caught the 11.15 ferry (26.50 euro in total) from Fiskardho to Vassiliki and so arrived back home. It had been a great way to see the interior of these beautiful Ionian Islands and something that we will repeat again. The road conditions were excellent for biking (apart from the diversion) and the ease of hopping from one island to another via ferry made this a thoroughly enjoyable short break!

One spongeful.” I won’t lie. It was an epic moment. sailing), waving to our chums and taking a few snaps along the way. Off to a good start (for us) in Class Two for Vassiliki. Let’s be clear. This is a 53 year old wooden boat we’re talking about. Three years ago, Westerling, a 28ft Holman Sterling was destined to become a heap of firewood until our dear friend, Ruairi Bradley, told us to buy it as he’d hate to see us being idle on our new island home. More blood sweat and tears than either of us care to remember – especially not the hospitalisation (him) or the acute allergic bronchitis (me) - we were ready to rock and roll or tack and jibe if you fancy some nautical parlance. We’d barely hung a right out of the bay and the wind started to blow. Full sails up and she was going nicely. I felt we could have water skied behind – if either of us could water ski. “I’ll put the Number Two up if the wind gets a bit stronger,” said himself, doing his best sea dog impersonation, tiller in hand. We had attempted the Southern Ionian Rally a year ago, but our chances were scuppered even before the start as we were taking on water faster than an ex-pat downs Land of Lefkas wine. So back to this year, we had our satisfying sponge moment, motored to the start of Race One in Poros Bay. All so relaxing, leisurely lunch, virtually no wind (my kind of A bit never happened. From a pleasant 20 knots the wind shot to 30 plus stupid knots. Below a reenactment of the Wreck of the Hesperus was occurring, although to be fair we hadn’t lashed a small child to the mast .Too late I remembered I hadn’t closed the portholes. Gunwales in water we raced along. Funny, the faster we went the slower the log read. Oh. That would be because the speed impeller wasn’t always in the water. Argghhh! Meanwhile, off stage someone was regularly emptying buckets of seawater over us, while himself played the tiller and I accompanied on the very taught jib sheet. A boat passed us, well, let’s be honest, lots of boats passed us, one occupant shouted we had a very clean bottom. Always good to hear. A right into Vas and no mention of the Number Two going up. Come to think of it, he had never shown any Spidermanlike qualities and I’m a Nana, who generally likes to wear a nice cardi. It was never going to happen. A few more tacks to the finish line, which we barely saw as our eyeballs were stinging with salt water. Somehow we managed to wave nonchalantly at the grinning occupants on the committee boat while clinging on at 45 degrees. Safely tied up to our new Germanic friend, Harald and his son, Heike, we drank Alfa and just like post childbirth immediately forgot the pain. Later downstairs (sorry below) himself lifted the floorboards. “One spongeful,” he said. Out and about at the Southern Ionian Regatta. Thanks to Helen Morgan ad Teresa Cunliffe for the sailing pictures Issue 2, October 2014 Page 9 Home Wanted - Dog of the month I've had Dixie now since the middle of January. She was sterilised and chipped with LAWS at the end of January and has had the relevant injections against distemper, hepatitis and parvovirus, rabies and canine leptospriosis With the vet’s advice we estimate she is abut 4 years old. She is timid, but getting better - she will really need someone with a bit of time to get her confidence levels up. She is very wary of men and not keen on cars. She is fine with my cats and other dog and women generally. She does not get sick in cars, but is not a relaxed traveller, again nervous. She lives outside most of the time, but when she has been inside she is nervous but does not make a mess or chew things. She will need to be re-homed gently as she is a timid dog but she has a strong character and is intelligent. I don't think it would be too difficult to train her I'd love to see her have a good home, because she really has a lot of love to give and wants to do so, she's just not sure how as no one has ever bothered to gain her trust before, but I really think she will make a lovely companion with love and attention. If you can give her a home call Lee on 698 011 8041 The Secret Diary of an Expat ...Part 2 (the names have been changed to protect the innocent) Day 2 I woke up late because I was so tired. So I made some coffee and didn't have milk for it. Everyone knows how grumpy I get without my proper coffee. I headed to the pool and a blessing happened: I meet a lady from Athens who used to live in England her name is Maria. Maria is going to take me to the supermarket and yacht club so I can email everyone and let them know I'm okay. Okay so it's 4 pm and I realise I'm going to the supermarket and yacht club at 7 pm. Guess what! I have no shampoo to wash my greasy hair. Don't ever use dish washing liquid on your hair. Afterwards I couldn't get a broom in my hair, Well, I look like the Fonz but am ready to go with Maria. First, let me tell you about Maria. She is great friends of Mr. K. They met each other in Athens, and are *just friends* Maria is in public relations. She is putting together an event in Rome the first week of September that is going to be attended by the who's who of European society. Of course I don't know who any of them are. She starts to tell me about Mr. K's family having a long history in government and that his parents have a summer home here. So Mr. K had a dream to build in this area and that's what he started 5 years ago. During the course of the evening at his yacht club, I find out from Maria, he has 2 children and is divorced. He walks in and I feel like I'm in a dream. He is gorgeous. We shake hands. Maria says, “ Mr K and you Kate, have a lot in common. You sold everything in and moved here.” I was shocked. He told us he was raised and schooled in Paris, moved to Athens, had a business, sold everything and is following his dreams. “Breathe”, I said to myself and than said to him “so is the dream finished?” He looked at me with those blue eyes and said softly “not yet”. Maria gets up to go to the bathroom and I turn to Mr. K and said “okay, we have 5 minutes to discuss this.” I said to him “I just need a car to get the hell away from you and I want to move to Lefkada So that you stop helping me and we don't see each other everyday.” He replied “why would you want that” and I said “I can't deal with you and the girlfriend”. “Okay” he said. car, so I made tuna with pistachios for lunch. I know it sounds awful but it was delightful. I have fruit for breakfast and so far I have been to the toilet 6 times today. It's like my body is cleansing itself. Maria returns. Ten minutes later, out of the blue Mr. K said “I have a car you can use. George the maintenance man is cleaning it up for you tonight and will bring over for you to try tomorrow.” After the healthy lunch, I need a beer, so I walk 2 miles to the local taverna. A million questions later, they find out I'm staying in Mr. K's apartments. I tried to be allusive but Helen (the daughter of the owner) pressed me till I surrendered. I know I shouldn't take it, but I need groceries, wine and a way out from being near him or I'm going to have a problem. As we were getting ready to leave, a nice couple walked in and introduced themselves. It's Mr. K's parents and guess what! They are going to live next door to me while their summer home gets renovated. I meet his parents, and then we are joined by his secret business partner . Over a glass of wine we find out he is married to Mr. K's cousin. His name is Panos and Maria is totally in love with him after only just meeting him. It's 2 am and I'm exhausted. I'm hiding tomorrow or I'll die from all this excitement. Well, I couldn't sleep..shocking! So I got up at 8am and made some big decisions: 1. I'm going to walk or run at least 1 mile a day and swim at least 30 minutes a day. I want to wear a bikini by spring. Every woman here regardless of size wears a bikini. I stand out like a sore thumb in a swimsuit. 2. I'm going to spend a half hour a day learning Greek. 3. I want to quit smoking! Pray for me on this one. I couldn't get any perishable items at the supermarket last night due to leaving it in Maria's No sign of the parents or my car yet, but it's only midday. It is now 2pm, guess what that means, siesta time, a 2 hour nap. I finally see George and he tells me the car has been in the garage and needs lots of maintenance, so he will fix everything and I should have car in 2 days. I see Maria and she is a little distant, probably because I don't know who the famous people are that she talks about on stop. I decide to stay in and get more sleep. I wake up from a dead sleep at 11:30 pm with the strangest feeling that I am being protected and watched over. I have no fear here and I feel so at home. .
