Day 13 Myrina Port on board Diagoras

Today I leave Greece. I feel really happy about my time here - it’s been everything I wanted (and some!!). I’m glad I’ve chosen to use this little app as it has allowed me to record my travels both visually (mostly) but also with some words. While most of my memories are recorded here visually - I can add some words to complement those images. I think because I haven’t been able to enter conversations and dialogue with people so far - I’m using this app to somehow fill that space. I think that may change as I now travel to Dubrovnik in Croatia. And I’ve got 3 nights in Hostel 365 for U - my first bunk style accommodation. I’ve just been reviewing my itinerary over the next few days. Wow I’m going to be busy!!
Back to today. The bike ride went well. Tail wind assisted - but there was one hill climb I walked for about 1km just as I came into Myrina. Dropped the bike off - walked for 10 min or so - had time for a cold drink - then boarded my old favourite ferry the Diagoras again. Like clockwork. I’m good!!
Wouldn’t ya know it - spoke too soon about my planning. Arrived in Kavala as per schedule - didn’t have a lot of time to get to airport so caught a taxi 40€ (public transport not great). This is where things went a little astray. My flights aren’t until tomorrow! I stuffed up. But not too big a problem to recover from - especially compared to if I had missed the flight. All my following bookings are still fine thank goodness. I was going to sleep rough again - but the airport actually closes overnight. Managed to quickly book a cheap 112€ place 11km away - so another taxi 25€. Digs are OK for the night - plenty of room, dbl bed, AC, mosquito screens everywhere (they’re bad here - even inside the airport I was getting bitten).
So a bit of a stuff up - but easily recovered.Read more
