Spata-Artemida

Looking back to our last world tour there was the enduring memory of a certain event involving dancing in a gutter and me carrying a metric s#%* ton of bags…and children…and a orthopaedic boot that saw more steps than your average Apple Watch these days!

And now…we are feeling the déjà vu…and poor Kylz is feeling very sore.

As we were doing our usual routine of getting ready to leave, all feeling a little sad as we really loved Hydra, out of nowhere Kylie was assailed in an unprovoked attack - heard me, attacked I tells ya!!
One of the (extra) steps in our AirBnB jumped up out of nowhere and pushed Kylie over!!

Luckily, she brought her trusty Sherpa with her on tour again. This time though he didn’t have to carry children as well 😅

We were also helped massively by the wonderful Mr. Dimitri (the AirBnB contact and principal of the local primary school) how not only arranged a (actual) donkey to take Kylie to the hospital but he helped get us through that ordeal and down the the port and onto our ferry.

Turns out this time poor Kylz has done a pretty good number on her leg with a break in her ankle. Small though it may be, it hurts like buggery and means we had to delay the start to our Egypt leg (pun intended).
It is to be noted that we did suggest to Kylie that she’s very lucky as “…some Mum’s don’t even have ankles…” and “…it’s a good thing she has two of them…” but that has not helped as much as one would think. Given that, we’ve reverted to just being nice and bringing her things when she needs them…a “summoning bell” has been refused though! 🔕

So with cast on…the replaced today by a boot in Athens, we are taking a little break for Kylz to hopefully start to mend and then onward we (hope to) go. 🩼🩼

In the meantime, stay safe out there people - never forget the stairs have had enough of being walked all over and are out for revenge!Read more
