The buggy tour of Spetses may very well have been the best moments of our trip with T and I. A thirty-kilometre tour along the coast replete with spectacular vantage points of forests, scrubland, secluded beaches and coves. I can’t recall even encountering any cars or motorcycles and the grilled octopus lunch at Paradise Beach club was difficult to beat. It was overcast and with a bit of a summer ending chill giving different less than full Greek summer sunshine view of the topography.

Last full day in Greece on this 15-day trip. Yet another crappy sleep. Greek hotel beds have not been particularly comfortable and with dearest F’s penchant for the polar vortex no comforters in any of the hotels have helped create a good night’s rest. The usual top notch Poseidonion Grand Hotel Breakfast. T usually has a double Greek coffee as part of his breakfast routine.

If I recall Frank Zappa, was there one of his songs “Cruising for Burgers” on the “Burnt Weeny Sandwiches” Album? So we are cruising Spetses on a souped-up golf cart or should we call it a buggy? Perhaps I make the reference to Frank Zappa as on this buggy I feel like the damn tourist I am but try not to be.

Spetses a small island that has made its mark in Greek history. How could such a small island be famous? For about a century starting in 1750, its shipowners built hundreds of large sailing ships that carried wheat from the granaries of Russia and Romania on the Black Sea to Italy, France and Spain. But it had to deal with Maltese ships and Barbary pirates who preyed on sea routes.

We arrived from Hydra to the nearby island of Spetses undergoing an island wide electrical blackout, so we required careful guidance from the ship to a waiting van to take us to the Poseidonion Grand Hotel. It was so dimly lit it would not have been difficult to take a few misguided steps and end up bobbing in the Aegean.

As we exited the Museum of History and Archives of Hydra I spied some ominous black clouds and lightning bolts in the distance. I advised Dearest F, T and I, perhaps a bit more speed was warranted to return to the hotel. Not heeding my warnings in a timely fashion we managed to nip into a covered restaurant with dozens of other people.
