David Waumsley Travels

Went on a cruise around three local (to Kefalonia) Islands today. No real information from the guides. Scorpios is the Island owned by the Onassis family so much was said about them Not really our thing.  Spoilt by having a friend with a motor boat, this full cruiser held little excitement. Here’s a few random photos. I’m sure you will manage without endless shots of distant Islands.

Toured the island today. Really very stunning!  Thanks to Saint Gerasimos we hope to be cured of all our illnesses. We only visited his monastery but his body (which allegedly has never decomposed) is brought out once a year and passed over willing locals looking for a cure. It’s depicted in the film version of Capt Corelli’s Mandolin – we also passed Sami where this was filmed too. Tempted to read the book now.

We also took in a cave and boat tour of a cavern before shooting off to the yachting hang-out of the pampered and media hungry - Fiskardo. I was a bit worried with camera in hand that we might have to move some of them out of the way, but no one bothered us. Finally we passed the most photographed area of Kefalona - Myrtos Beach and did the obvious before getting back to our balcony for another sunset. Contentedly wiped-out!

Anyone read yesterday’s post will perhaps be not be too surprise to hear we have had no reply from Travelex over the dodgy 50 euro note they sold us.
