Robin on Greek island: no cars!


Robin on Hydra

Hey up

Yes, we're back in Athens after a couple of nights on the lovely island of Hydra, a teeny Greek island about 1.5 hours on a quick boat from Athens.

It's only got a population of 3,000 people, probably because everything is built into/onto hills. In fact, it's so hilly that they don't even have (or indeed, allow) cars on the island - they just use donkeys to carry things about. Really.

Lovely place, can very much recommend a visit. I'll post some more pics in the next couple of days. This one was taken looking into the main town of Hydra after a wee walk along the coast to a secluded little spot where we went swimming and enjoyed the sunshine.

Happy 4th of July! (And from my country to yours - thanks for the independance - LOL!)

Just look at that sky. I wonder do Robin's extraordinary abilities stretch to swimming? Surely if you leave him on the beach he must get lonely. I say send for Robyn - I'll bring her anytime!!!
