This was the major part of the assesment. We left the hotel at 10 and went to a nearby secluded bay. Correctly, it's called Neorio, but it's the major beach which we used for rescue practices, so we renamed it 'Dunking Bay'.
Basically, we had ... Read more >

We had a rest day today, so instead of kayaking, we hired a scooter and scootered around the island. To be honest, I would have been as happy to have gone snorkelling, but gf wanted to go on a trip, and I just want the quiet life.

Exciting day!
Quite windy in the morning, and we went hydrofoil dodging. Then did eskimo rolls:)
Choppy winds and quite a swell on the sea as we cruised across the bay at Askeli - it's about 20 minutes, so not onerous. Once we were across, ... Read more >

Our first taste of kayaking :)

A pile of crap.... Read more >

It was raining when we landed at Athens airport. We had left Oulu at 6:30 for an unhurried journey to the airport, getting there in plenty of time. The AirBaltic flight left on time but landed 27 minutes late, giving us 3 minutes to get to the next ... Read more >

Day One
After landing in Athens I made my way to the hostel, which involved a myriad of public transport in true Greek style… on the way from the airport the bus managed to clip the back of a car because it was partly in our lane! The car ... Read more >
