I arrived on Amorgos 34 hours after leaving Vancouver on Sunday. Fortunately a few hours of sleep onboard the ferry rejuvenated me enough to handle the half hour drive in my rental car to the village of Chora. The little orange Fiat Panda had just enough gas to get me there. My companion for the drive was my friend Buket who had surprised me with a visit from Istanbul. We arrived in Chora at 3:30 am on Tuesday. My apartment was waiting with a dish of fresh fruit, bottled water and a carafe of local liqueur.
After a brief sleep I wandered up to Jazzmin Cafe for a warm hug with my friend Theo. This is the gathering place for a group of very special people. They soon started arriving with more hugs. What a wonderful reunion that will continue during my month here as more friends continue to arrive.
Jetlag demanded a lazy day after breakfast, unpacked, picked up a few groceries, napped and finally walked up the pathway to Fotodotis for a dinner of eggplant salad and grilled sardines. Delicious!
More reunions with friends from Amsterdam and farewells to others who were heading home to England.
At the end of a very long day it was time to enjoy a long sleep(hopefully).
