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 >

Day 6

Thu, 9 Jun 2011 | By oulupulu | Views [210]

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. The scenery ... Read more >

Day 5

Wed, 8 Jun 2011 | By oulupulu | Views [200]

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 >

Day 4

Apologies for the rubbish names of the journal entries, I honestly can't be arsed to think of anything clever. Today was a long journey day - a 16.5km trip eastward along the south coast of Poros, then around the island of Modi and back to Askeli.... Read more >

Our first taste of kayaking :) After a leisurely morning, we kayaked a little way down the coast and started practicing rolls and rescues. Hard, wet and salty work, and we were quite pooped that evening - understandably, being as we had very little ... Read more >

Day 2

What do first time visitors to Athens always do...? So, realising that time in the morning was pinched, to say the least, we checked out of the hotel, took a taxi to the Acropolis, and then went up to check it out. A pile of crap.... Read more >

Day 1

Sat, 4 Jun 2011 | By oulupulu | Views [218]

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 >

Greece... Ancient Ruins, Olives, Feta, Pistachios & Sun!

Wed, 20 Apr 2011 | By cokeeffe | Views [1086]

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 >
