With a hop and skip
Over the puddles I step
My damn shoe got wet

Still water on ground
Dark cloud let it fall down
Light nowhere found

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now”
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

A boat filled with flowers
Was a little too crowded for the rowers
So instead, they rode a lawnmower
Before the grass grew any taller

Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.”

Row your boat
Round the moat
Let it gently float
But watch out
For the big goat!

Kardamena Village; here we come!

As we arrived in the quaint little fishing village, we were greeted by the hustle and bustle of the villagers and tourists alike. Many a shops selling products from near and far. Knickknacks and touristy stuff among local produce, such as sponges and luffas. Wine and Olive Oil but also fine jewelry.

After a busy morning spent in the shops, lunch in the many restaurants by the beach boulevard was a welcome break. After a heavy duty fish related meal, ice coffee with small sugary pasties and then back on the road for a little sightseeing before heading back.

All and all, a day well spent, with plenty of memories accumulated in forms of tale and picture snaps! Definitely something to “instagram” back home 😉
