From Tinos to Syros: Island #2
According to the saying, you can get used to anything. So we reckon it works like this. You arrive on Tinos and the unbelievable wind is an amusing novelty for a day, maybe even two. If you’re here for ages, then you learn to live with it and it’s not important, you might even stop noticing it.

Next up: Greece. Hopefully.
Our third trip to Greece together is just three weeks away now, just three weeks till we hit sun, sand, retsina, fresh fish, dolmades, village wine and all the other things which Greece has to offer.

Well, because here in England industrial action is looming and airport security staff have voted to strike at regular intervals through the peak season, with our chosen airport of Gatwick due to be hit.
