In all the excitement of my medal triumph last night I forgot to mention the gorgeous sunset that we saw at dinner time. I think it was the best one of the fortnight - and we had no cameras to hand! Never mind, we will just have to remember it. Some nights the horizon has been quite hazy as the sun set, but last night it was really clear and the sun was large and blood red as it sank behind the shoulder of Mount Athos. Meanwhile in the foreground a group of tiny kittens were playing on the ruins of the the temple of Artemis that is within the grounds of the hotel. It was all so beautiful. I am looking forward in some ways to going home but I will miss this place and its amazing colours.
Update from Gatwick Airport at 6 p.m.
While waiting for the last leg of our journey home we have set up camp in Caffé Nero for a while. So many memories of our holiday - all of the boys' funny sailing stories, like when James fell out of the boat and was dragged along behind it as Jamie and Ally tried to pull him back in or when James fell on the tiller and broke it! The boys were constantly capsizing but they learned a lot and had great fun! Grandma also very much enjoyed her holiday, she said that she felt part of everything. Another thing that I'll remember will be the self-styled "VIP" taxi in Myrina, whose driver had set it apart from the other taxis by sticking large amounts of fake snakeskin and diamanté around the inside and charged an extra euro! It has been tremendous.
