but all good things must come to an end. Booooo!!! And so whilst I was ready to depart, Greece wasn't and decided to be on strike on the very day of my departure - no buses, no trains and no taxis. Is the universe trying to tell me something?!
The lovely lady at the hotel in Hydra phoned a friend in Piraeus who is a taxi driver by trade and wasn't working - because he's on strike - and he agreed to pick me up from the boat and drive me to the airport in his personal car. For a small fee of course. All very covert because he can't be seen to be working. Hilarious.
And so I arrive in Paris as the leaves are turning, and only the hardiest of street vendors are plying their wares, and somehow it seems appropriate that I finish my travels as the autumn wind is nipping at my heels.
Naturally I'd quite happily do it all over again but the only thing missing is all of you! It's been lovely however to have you all along for the journey, and thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your company, but for now I must bid you adieu.
In the meantime feel free to keep checking back in this week for details of the Archbishop's birthday celebrations - it should be fun!
Au revoir mes amie.
