Lost in the Ionian

Supper time
This week has been the best one yet. It has been so good that one of us is indisposed right now, and it happens to be the one who has all the pictures, so I'm afraid they will be posted with a days delay. We finally brought ourselves to leave Bonitza. It was a very hard thing to do, for in the period of two weeks that we spent there, we made many good friends, and pretty much became known faces in the town.

The trip here took us a whole day of sailing under the sun. Lefkas is an amazing town. The design of the centre is Arabic, similar to the cities of Granada or Seville. Only in the case of Lefkas, though the structure has remained intact, the colours of the buildings must have been affected by the 70's (and I think people's dress senses by the 80's).

We have had three days of heavy rain and winds, which would normally pose a massive inconvenience in our day to day, but we had luckily just downloaded the first season of Lost, so the bad weather geave us the full Cinemax experience that our minds were craving.

Still no fish caught, and we will not buy any out of pure pride until the provider provides. In a week of mingling with Lefkasians we have already made a number of friends, but we are sea gypsies who cannot afford to have any attachments, which is why tomorrow, at first light we're setting sail for Nikiana (I think that is what it's called)(and only if the weather is good(we have just downloaded season 2 of lost just in case it isn't).

For all of our fans who don't know us personally, and just find it too hard to leave comments, we would love to receive feedback on carmichael.i@live.com (specially if you happen to be female and attractive (with a preference of Australian or Yank, but other nationalities may be considered).

Thank you very much for reading the blog, and sharing the link to the blog with ten people or more will automatically get you an invite onboard Crest Hawk for a week*.
