Our island life is over for a while; we are back on mainland Greece getting back to work. The wind blew all the time we were on Mykonos, putting paid to one of the things we wanted to, which was going to the isle Delos to see the ancient site.
We went to the beach when we could, walked through Mykonos Old Town and looked at the shops. One thing we both liked was a house still with all the furniture in as it would have been in the C19th it was very interesting, when the family travelled through Europe they came back with furniture as there wasn’t any wood on the island.

Passed through Athens and couch surfed (Google it) and arranged visas for India, and then managed to get an extra Helpx place in the Peloponnese near Sparta (the 300 are long gone) and it seems everyone has long gone, the tourists are not arriving and the locals cannot afford to holiday so the downward spiral seems to be on the move!!

Our new hosts are great, Phil & Shema, He is from Essex and Shema is form Brisbane her parents were both Croation , they are renovating a couple of houses and need a lift, literally, as I helped move all their furniture out of storage, whilst Megan sanded and varnished a floor amongst other jobs.
Next for us is back through Athens to pick up the Indian visas and then head north to the Helpx seed bank.
Are they windmills?
