A short intermi$$ion

Sadly, and happily, we are taking a short break from our bicycle touring in Greece.

Happily because I'll be working on the new ship Eurodam helping with some last minute construction as it sails from Venice to Southampton, England. What an opportunity!

Sadly because we were both really, really enjoying Greece and the bicycle touring.

Happily because it's only until June 29th (that's when I'll be back on Greek soil) and I'll be making some good money to allow us to continue touring and not have to worry about finding work in Greece.

Sadly because I will really miss Alix and also Greece in general, a country that I have found a new love for.

Happily because Alix gets to spend a couple of weeks in a lovely apartment that we rented for an excellent price in a beautiful little village by the sea, south of Argos, south-west of Nafplio. The village is Xiropighado ("dry well"). This will hopefully help Alix to immerse herself in Greek and really learn some of the language. Mrs. Helen (Kiria Eleni) who owns the vacations apartments is a wonderful host and will most certainly inject many Greek words into Alix's vocabulary.
