Delphi Dawdles - getting ready for the off

Soon after we booked and paid for a ferry from Trieste to Igoumenitsa we found that the Greek Euro crisis was going to come to a head whilst we are out there. Will "Grexit" occur and Greece revert to drachma? Could be an interesting time! My guess is they'll bodge together an agreement at the last minute. We have our own Grexit plan if it gets difficult - escape via Albania and Montenegro.

A week to go, and we haven't booked a ferry across the channel yet. Still getting last minute vitals and checking kit. We have a new, all singing all dancing satnav this year - a Garmin instead of our usual Tom-Tom. Annoyingly, the Garmin doesn't tell us how far it is to our destination, and I much prefer Tom-Tom's map colours. However, we are hoping the Garmin's ability to track the route can be used to display the route here - will it work? Who knows!

The plan is to get to Greece before it gets too hot, but the downside is missing the English spring. May is absolutely glorious - fresh air, fresh life, fresh flowers, fresh green leaves on trees. As a reminder, here some recent bluebells on Duncliffe, in Dorset

Part of the preparation is remembering how to use Blogger, hence this post.
