We start the week with all kinds of plans and lists of things we have been going to attend to for months. Most of the list is complete, with the outstanding item being the cutting and polishing of the topsides which is almost complete. We have both retrained as contortionists as we polish the hull from the inflatable dinghy but it is really good for the abs and shoulders.
We have some wonderful German neighbours - Werner and Hannah - from close to Frankfurt. We will really miss them when they go home on 3 December as have had some fun times with them. They take us on a bicycle tour of Kos on Thursday and then introduce us to the best local souvlaki washed down with ouzo on Friday.... oh dear!
We have sent emails to all the wonderful cruisers we have met during our travels and made sure we keep in touch ready for next season. Richard has received more photos of us racing in Poros - wonderful to have shots of the boat under sail with us both on board, although Richard is down to leeward and not featuring.
This weekend we have had our first taste of winter weather and as we write this blog the wind is howling outside and it is raining - feels just like Auckland!
We now (for better or worse) keep up to date with the news via our laptops and followed the ABs defeat of Wales via live updates on the BBC site. It was excrutiatingly slow but at least we got the result as it happened. We went out to a local bar here to see if we could view it on TV but it did not feature on any of the Sky Sport channels, of which there were plenty.
This coming week we are promising ourselves a trip to the hot springs - have not got there yet.
