Well, it's been an annoying slog getting
here but hopefully I'll let that go and really start settling in to the island
rhythm. Taxi driver took me to the wrong place this morning but finally sorted
it out, then I sat on the boat for an hour before it left. I listened
to some Al Stewart as we crossed into Greece - completely appropriate
with his evocative lyrics.
Annoyance continued
when I went the wrong way entirely and took over an hour of traipsing
around with my backpack on before I arrived here. In a few minutes I'll
hire a bike and ride out to a nice beach somewhere. Spoke to Nadia at 1pm - we
were both annoyed for different reasons! Her unreliable colleagues are messing
up her plans for the extra week she's taking off. Funny how things affect us.
My traipsing around has left me quite grumpy and I've lost the excitement
I had on the ferry listening to Al Stewart. I might try a bit more
whilst lying on the beach in an hour or so. I was thinking as we crossed
on the ferry - who am I exactly? And my thought was - I'm this Al
Stewart-listening, world-travelling, ruins-clambering, medieval
literature-reading, inner peace-seeking individual who is most at home doing
what I'm doing right now.
