3 weeks ... gone to fast

Wow, that was quick....

Here we are, sitting in Patra, trying to kill time... After two Ouzo and one beer I needed a break (our boat is only leaving in 5 hours, and more booze now would probably make sure I enter the boat to anywhere but not to Venice)....

So why not update this poor blog a little bit...

First problem: how to change settings of the browser from greek hieroglyphics to latin letters? Many thanks to my office colleagues who changed the settings on my office pc so many times everytime I forgot to lock it that I`m now a semi-professional in changing it back (special thank to Aprkus - the builder - he will fix it if he can or wants). Second problem: whz is y and z mixed up on this bloody keyboard #%$( - whatever... thanks to bloukous for teaching me that lesson! A third "thanks" to didionre for the "whatever"..
But I guess as usual I'm loosing the point here...

In fact I need to say thank you to a few others first:

Thanks to SAC for driving me down and across the Peloponnes so savely! (I love you!)
Thanks to my father for the car!
Thanks to Lambros mother for the appartement (I'll need to pay you a new mosquito-protection shutter, sorry! But at least I was the laugh of Zacharo when I "ran" out to the balcony with the mosquito net still closed...)
Thanks to Lambros for his tips and friendship!
Thanks to Kaliroi, Kia Maria, Giorgia and Tassia for the unbeatable hospitality!
Thanks to my team @ ubs for holding the shop together and letting me go for 3 weeks!
Thanks to the "poor other half" for emptying our letter box (I'm looking forward to see you dressed up as Frank n'Further !)
Thanks to the intern for holding "welcome drinks" a second time as soon as I'm back!
Zakynthos - Zacharo - Pylos - Mani - Monemvasia - Nafplio - Diakopo ... All of it was worth it! Excellent weather, great food (but why the hell do they have to serve those horrible fries all the time?), beautiful views, nice hikes, friendly people. There were many highlights (more of them probably later with pics) and I can recommend our trip to everybody.
I can recommend as well to take a three week break! I know a little bit what happened in the financial world the last few weeks, but more or less I managed to "switch off". I can't even remember my office passwords anymore... nice!

End yes: we let our bycicles at home and I'm still a smoker.... :-( but hopefully only for a few more hours! I'll give it another try (attempt 137)!

I'm looking forward to see you soon (not so much to have my 99th month-end starting on monday...) !!!
