bye bye Ιόνια Νησιά

the last two weeks were full of swimming in crystal clear water, eating yummy food (especially the home cooked one....THANKS Terry and Gisi!!!!), lying in the sun, unfortunately motoring around as there was absolutely no wind, having fun with the crew and lazing about.

we tripped from lefkas to paxos and spent 4 nights in several anchorages and snorcheld through a cave on the backside of paxos, stopped for a swim in antipaxos, went down to menganissi, further on to fiskardo on kephalonia (one of my favourit spots), after to the south of lefkas - then porto spiglia on meganissi again (celebrating Sarah´s 18th b'day with cheesecake and baloons) and back to lefkas town.

all in all the places we stayed at where wonderful...i also learned though, that italian boat owners can be rather rough and unfriendly if things don´t go their way, and that greek folk music can seriously stuff a good night´s sleep!

the ionian islands are well worth a visit! ( but in our personal ranking, the turkish coast is still #1...let´s see how long this will stay valid for ;)

but every holiday has come to an end at some point...our crew from altenmarkt went back home and italy is calling us.

we plan to leave lefkas town today at 4pm hoping to arrive in messina on sicily around midday on wednesday. 

if evereything goes well, we will do our first 2days/2nights turn ...pretty exiting i tell you!

the wind forecast is in our favour, maloo is clean and ready....off we go!
