A couple of Irish vans which had cracked with the craic last night had already gone. We chatted with Pauline and Michael again, as the local bin men came to empty the recycling bins. The sight&#8217;s something, a weird claw grabs the bit of the iceberg of a bin which protrudes above the Earth, pulling it and an enormous metal box out skywards. Swinging it over the back of the truck it cracks open at the bottom like some infernal monster and spews out its contents before being landed deftly back in place. As I&#8217;d accidentally popped Charlie&#8217;s bagged poop in the wrong bin, I kept a low profile.<\/p>\n<p>Michael&#8217;s a character, with a thousands stories I&#8217;m sure. During 7 years in the merchant navy as a baker, he&#8217;d been all over the world, perfecting his trade and, I would wager, having a rip-roaring time in the process. Only problem was the time away; he once did a 6 month tour, followed by 2 weeks at home and then an even longer tour, so he only saw his wife for those 14 days that year! Packing it in he set up his own bakers and didn&#8217;t look back, selling the business many years later with 20 staff and 4 shops. Awesome. Now they&#8217;ve a brilliant life split between a house on Crete, a house in the UK and the motorhome trips.<\/p>\n<p>As we&#8217;d all got somewhere to go, however slowly, we said our goodbyes and set off. We&#8217;d this place programmed into the satnav, with a vague plan to drive to the island via the causeway (which is flooded half the time), rather than the rather more conventional and reliably massive bridge from the mainland. Dave cruised on, ticking over to the magical 200,000 Km without us noticing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14338\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC08191.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14338\" class=\"wp-image-14338\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC08191.jpg\" alt=\"Fabulous coup d'oeil (trick of the eye) art.\" width=\"620\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC08191.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/DSC08191-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14338\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fabulous coup d&#8217;oeil (trick of the eye) art.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>French villages and adopted a certain pragmatism when it comes to slowing down traffic entering the built-up area, using a combination of purposeful hazards which doesn&#8217;t usually include the dreaded speed camera.

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Further ambling back to Dave, Ju tucking into an afternoon kip while I took to the rock pools. Slipping like a clown into a pool and soaking my sandals in the process, I looked about to see if anyone had noticed the dent in my ego, then decided as I was already wet, I may as well stay wet. I picked a pool, and sat on a rock with my feet in it. Shading eyes against the sun, I breathed the place in, filling my lungs with it. Nibble. Err, an unusual sensation on my right foot took me aback. I counted 16 translucent little prawn-like creatures nibbling the dead skin. One of the larger ones had deployed his lengthy claw-ended arm and was trying to pull off a minute bit of skin beneath a toe nail. Yep, it felt weird but I let &#8217;em have a go for a while, figuring some folks pay good money to let foot-level aquariums full of black fish do a similar job.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s 7:14pm now, and the sun&#8217;s heading for splash-down with the sea. With zero clouds, we&#8217;re guaranteed a great view of it, as long as I get the rest of this wine supped and get over there in time. Busy busy busy!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers, Jay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dave the motorhome&#8217;s punching the air (alright, maybe stretching it a bit far with that one, as he&#8217;s armless).
