Week Four

Week Four

Welcome back, fellow travellers and well done.

A quick reminder: we are aiming to raise funds for Kamili Organisation in Kenya, so please donate. If you are reading this and enjoying it and haven’t yet made a donation, may I gently prick your conscience and ask you to stump up the cash? Thank you.

We have had some very generous donations – thank you so much! If you do make a donation, please drop me an email so that I keep track. I receive feedback from Bread & Water, but some donations are not linked to a team.

Last week found me in Heraklion. The answers to the other questions are: Lions; Knossos; Minos; Theseus; Minotaur; Icarus; Snakes. Loads of got all of those right, so well done.

Top teams: A new leader! 1: The Travelling Willesleys; 2: Shaw to Shore; 3: The Flying Breadboards; 4: The Wood Folk. The margins are very narrow!!

Here is Week Four …

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside. This is a Very Nice Place, or Very Near(ly) Nice. The Bubblecraft has decided to land on water, which is a novel experience, so I swim between the luxury yachts that are moored here, climb out of the water and up into some ramparts. I dry off in the sun while sitting next to a chap who is staring out to sea. He seems to be made from scrap metal and I can see right through him to the town. He marks the place near where a famous diver built his equally famous boat. I can hear a steel band, how apt, so I wander off. This town is renowned for its street music and the steel band is not alone. I wander through a covered market, full of delicious local produce, some of which I sample. I pass a bar that takes its name from a drink, once banned, that is made from wormwood. I move on – it’s an acquired taste. I head towards the sea, onto the ramparts, and pop in to a museum dedicated to an artist who, like so many, was lured to this part of the world by its wonderful light. I retrace my steps and carry on, through the narrow streets and tree-lined squares. I end up at a fort with an unusual shape, the location for a James Bond enemy’s lair in a film that was Broccoli-free. I see the Bubblecraft floating on the azure water. The tide is going out! Time to leave!
