This morning I went to the Wind shop to get some credit on my Greek mobile phone SIM – I can try it for mobile broadband if I don’t get on well with the Vodafone one I have.

I like the idea of having a local number for when I start callup up yacht charter companies to arrange for the september sailing trip with Vinny, Anna and pals.

At the Vodafone shop I bought a €20 scratch-and-sniff card that gives me 1Gb over 15 days.

I caught the 2pm bus up to Falatados to see Adonis. He’s offered to ask around to help me find somewhere to stay up there and is happy for me to help out in the taverna. I should get to see his baby son tomorrow and hear that there is a second baby on the way.

I’ve also made contact with my friend Margit and arranged to have drinks this evening

I will admit that I’m not getting great broadband connection from my room and do have to dangle my dongle out the window to get GPRS but I do feel connected.
