We are still parked up this evening at Sikia beach after a day of planning the next few weeks of our travels in Greece and researching a motorhome repair centre. I've found one just outside Thessalonika so tomorrow we'll take our gaffer taped van to them and see what they can do with it. If they can do anything I'm sure it will look better than it does now.
It took us half a day to plan our route through northern Greece and the Peloponnese trying to include as many of the historical sights as we can and factoring in a few "rest days" :) Apart from that we haven't done much at all today. The hammock came out for a while until it became too hot for me and I had to retreat to the shade. Phil braved it out a little longer and is browning nicely.
The dogs who two nights ago were running about and barking all night as a result of the earthquake aftershocks have calmed down now and spend their days chasing cars up and down the road outside the campsite in between looking for shade after their exertions. We made our dinner this evening and all of a sudden they want to be our friends.
So, tomorrow a couple of hours drive to Thessalonika; the repair centre also provides a stop-over for motorhomes so we'll spend the night there and we'll get a verdict on the repairs.

ps. We just walked down to say goodbye to the beach with Mt Athos looking down on us and saw a flash of lightning over the hills inland and then the clap of thunder. It was many miles away but by the time we got back to the van it was directly above us and it is now lashing down with rain. We're sat under the awning enjoying a spectacular light show. The dogs don't seem bothered by the thunderstorm but one of them has come out from the rain and is lying under Phil's chair licking her foot - wet dog smell alert:)
