Propositioned in a Car Park

KRIONERI.

Slept in until almost 9am this morning. A lazy time having breakfast then slowly packing up the van.

We've noticed a fetid smell in the van over the last couple of days. Rosie cleaned the van and we checked the fridge. When we emptied the grey water, we discovered the culprit. Cue plenty of water through the sink to flush it out.

There are two English couples on the site. They tell us that there is a strip of war zone between Croatian and Montenegro. We check with our insurers who tell us we aren't insured. We also need green card insurance for Montenegro.

Today's destination is Krioneri in the south of the state of Epirus. We have to leave the island by the same route we entered. Rosie decides to shop in the capital. We park and discover families of gypsies (can I still say that?). I decide to guard the van. I was approached by a young boy asking for money. I said that he should give me some. He then pestered me for much of the time Rosie was shopping. He mouthed food, copied my walking style, did a little dance and finally exposed himself. Up until then, I found it amusing, but at this point, I chased him off. A very disturbing glance of life for some children.

Lunch is taken in a beautiful harbour village of Amfilochia.

The tv package in Campoverde needs renewing. Bert & Doreen are in charge. They get upset with the current provider and buy something new for 300 euro. A miscommunication means we cancel the internet provider. Tom's intervention means that we have to reinstate it. Not easy from Greece!

Arrive at our destination about 5pm. A hidden harbour town off the beaten track.

We meet a couple from Hampshire/Nice who tell us that Montengro is so small it wouldn't be a loss if we skipped it.
