Lefkada
Benno
Arrr, we spent th’ last ten spins o’ th’ hourglass marooned on th’ Greek isle o’ Lefkada, where th’ briny deep sparkles like Davy Jones’ own treasure in a turquoise more temptin’ than a siren’s song!
We set sail by ferry from Split to Ancona, then hopped another barnacle-crusted tub to Igoumenitsa. Didn’t want to abandon the mighty EU waters, ‘cause that can become a right mess with the mongrel aboard—ARRR! The ferry costs more doubloons than a pirate’s ransom, but shiver me timbers, the revelry be legendary, matey!

There be precious little to scribble in th’ ship’s log from Lefkada. We just lazed about, swung our peg legs, and dropped anchor at a few sandy coves, arrr!



Th’ season’s not yet begun, so peace be thicker than fog off the bow. Th’ sea here boasts a hue rarer than mermaid tears, and be beautiful enough to make a seadog weep, I tells ye!



Between bouts o’ carousin’, we marked our weddin’ anniversary with a right good toast, and both Charly and me got our barnacle-ridden hair shorn. Blimey!




We also spent the days gettin’ our horseless carriage shipshape: the cap’n’s door be bent worse than a drunken sailor and wouldn’t shut at all, oil needed changin’, and the Passat deserved fresh brake pads. The brave vessel even had herself a spa soak at the car wash—she’s about to hit 200'000 leagues, by the powers! All that, and it cost but a pinch of doubloons compared to home port. No wonder ye spy barnacle-laden wrecks still limpin’ along the roads here. Swab me decks! What they fix afloat here would never survive in me homeland! Plus, never seen so many L300s in any port before—ARRR!





Greece be just as a Swiss Bünzli like meself imagines it: the folk be friendlier than a jolly crew, always ready with a cackle, a patchwork solution, a fag hangin’ off their lip and a glass o’ ouzo never far from hand. Avast, that’s the way o’ these isles!





Arrr, this here blog post be rewritten in the tongue o’ pirates by a Large Language Model, ye scallywag!
