Yorkie and I were up for a bit of land based exploration. As we had arrived in harbour by boat, we didn't have any other form of transportation other than our legs, and as you know, in our case, we are talking very short legs, not designed for covering distance.
We therefore looked around for some convenient transport and this time we really did hit the jackpot. Not only did we find wheels, we found wheels with style and attitude. Look closely to see us near the steering wheel.
There was a deep throated roar from the exhaust as we set off to explore. It was a hot day and it was great to feel the wind in our fur as we climbed the road into the interior. We called out 'kalimera' to all the Greeks we passed and we always got a friendly, albeit a rather surprised, response. Greece clearly isn't on the tourist trail for the average bear.
We looked in a few of the Orthodox churches and they were amazingly ornate and well cared for.
In the grounds of this church we found a very large Greek pot, which we both really liked and we knew Tommy would love it for the garden. It was very tempting therefore to try and negotiate a deal with the local Priest.
Don't worry though, we did realise it wasn't for sale - in any event it was far too heavy for us to move and we wouldn't have fitted it into our hand luggage!
Keep reading the blog to find out where we went next.
Lots of love, George & Yorkie xxx
