    We are in Serifos — poli orea but very windy. Packed togeth­er like Greek sardines at Coralie Campsite but uncrowded beach has clear water and won­der­ful euc­ulptis (sp?) trees for shade. Athena has had her first snor­kelling experience

    hi Kerry and Athena here! We are on our own (apart from the camp­ing hoards) here on Serifosnow, as Chris, Jane and CAllum have moved onto Kimolos — I’m sure they will tell you all about it — sounds idyll­ic from Jane’s texts. We were sad to say good­bye as we so enjoyed our travels togeth­er. My plans to go onto Alonnisos to spend time with our dear friend Penny were no longer pos­sible due to hav­ing a lot of money stolen on the Athens metro, so we decided to stay on Serifos till our plane jour­ney back on Monday. 

    Big news here today is that Athena can SWIM! She has per­severed hero­ic­ally in the Campsite pool and really deserves her BIG MOMENT! Her Mummy is extremely proud.

    Apart from that we want to tell you about wild fen­nel grow­ing every­where (smells bet­ter than it tastes says Athena) and pun­gent Curry plants almost knock­ing you over with their smell. Meltemi winds that con­stantly rip the tent pegs out of the sand, Niko the Gardener present­ing Athena with treats and smiles every morn­ing and even­ing. Athena has made friends with many of the cats of Greece, includ­ing a teeny weeny kit­ten she would love to take home with her!
