We had thought about heading south to explore the southern tip of the island, but the realisation that it&#8217;s now the end of May prompted a rethink. We need to be back in the UK for mid-September, as Dave&#8217;s MOT runs out, so that gives us around three and a half months. What I would have given for a three and a half month holiday when I was working, but now it seems so very short as there is still so much more to see. Roughly allocating a number of weeks to bits of the map we decided to get a wriggle on and quit lounging around on Greek beaches &#8211; well almost.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11225\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06027-1024x512.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11225\" class=\"wp-image-11225\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06027-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"This fella was buzzing Eretria this morning, going round in circles for about an hour - good job Jay had already woken me!\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06027-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06027-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11225\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This fella was buzzing Eretria this morning, going round in circles for about an hour &#8211; good job Jay had already woken me!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This morning Jay was up and at &#8217;em, super early, I was woken by the sound of Charlie growling as Jay harrassed him, it wasn&#8217;t even 8am!

Having taken the wrong one and ending up in a busy town we pulled over, switched on our laptop and ran maps on our phone using the internet through the laptop.

On the horizon are the Sporade islands including Skiathos, whose name conjures up images of 18-30 holidays for some reason. Charlie immediately jumped out of Dave and started to explore, Jay stripped down to his underpants, sunglasses and sandals and went for a dip, while I laid down and read. I&#8217;ve started reading Clocks by Agatha Christie, I&#8217;ve never read any of her books before and picked this up at a campsite book-swap &#8211; I have to say that I&#8217;m really enjoying it, so will see if we have any of her books on our kindle.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11223\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06064-1024x348.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11223\" class=\"wp-image-11223 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06064-1024x348-1024x348.jpg\" alt=\"Charlie explores his second beach of the day\" width=\"620\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06064-1024x348.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06064-1024x348-300x102.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11223\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charlie explores his second beach of the day<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We sheltered in Dave from the worst of the heat, then as the evening breeze started to pick up we set off for a walk to the little port at the end of the beach.

One lay by was already filled with three Greek motorhomes &#8211; the most we&#8217;ve ever seen in one place &#8211; the other was next to a water fountain and beach shower, so a plan was formed to move Dave when we got back from our walk.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11220\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06068-1024x590.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11220\" class=\"wp-image-11220 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06068-1024x590-1024x590.jpg\" alt=\"The boys having a swim \" width=\"620\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06068-1024x590.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC06068-1024x590-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The boys having a swim<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The little harbour is mostly filled with fishing boats, just what you&#8217;d expect here, but there is also something you wouldn&#8217;t expect: an out of service pleasure cruiser, the sort you&#8217;d see taking people for an evening out along the Thames in London.
