FAMILY FUN IN SKOPELOS


As a rare treat during our year abroad, we got to catch up with family...on the Greek island of Skopelos. It was great to spend some good quality time together. We imagined we'd be on the beach, soaking up the sun together, maybe rent a boat and find some hidden beaches - but the weather had another idea and it decided that the English showers should pay us a visit. Not too much of an issue, we just holed up and played cards for 3 days straight. I think at one point we'd gotten up to about 800 points in a very long game of cribbage before we realised we'd been at a cafe for 5 hours:)

The sun did make an appearance, so we made the most of it by renting buggies and cruising all navigable roads on the island...and a few nice muddy off road bits too! Before we knew it, we were boarding the ferry back to Volos on the mainland to go pick up Jackson to head north to Thessaloniki...very strange waving goodbye to your family on a Greek island. Ho hum...off we went.
