This trip marked 25 years since our first visit to Amorgos.
I decided to look through my drawing books from 2000.
I was reminded this morning that my blog has been neglected for a few months. Life seems to speed past at a faster pace as I age...days, weeks, months pass before I think about the blog.
At the end of April I returned to my other home on the island of Amorgos. My son had used his airmiles for the flight and his hotel points for my two night stay in Athens at a spectacular hotel. What a gift!
Well located, the hotel was much classier than my usual little place and very comfortable. I decided that I could get accustomed to luxury! There was even a complimentary bottle of wine along with chocolates every night on my pillow.
The Blue Star ferry finally set sail on a blustery day. Unable to book a cabin, I had opted for First Class because there would be an option to either lay down on the long bench seats or sit in comfortable seating. The first three hours were awful as the ship plowed through wind and high waves. One traveller was constantly sick. Fortunately I am not prone to sea sickness. The seas finally calmed a bit and we sailed on to island after island. Apparently the ferry schedule was still on its winter tour which included many stops. At 4:00am I arrived at Amorgos after 10 1/2 hours onboard.
A taxi was waiting for me and the driver was kind enough to carry my two bags up to my room. After a short nap I made the familiar trek up the path to Jazzmin. A beautiful sign greeted me and welcoming arms wrapped me in a warm hug.
