karpathos for the weekend...

(mythos and ouzo - for sure one of the most lethal combinations in liquor history)

had to go down to karpathos for a couple of days to sort some stuff out with our old windsurf equipment from the surf station. the weather sucking big time in germany, this wasn't the worst idea. also, the whitsun holiday on monday made a perfect extended weekend for this.

(byebye, rainy germany - sunshine, here i come!)

with no existing direct flights until after the weekend, i had to fly down via rhodos island and take a small 'island hopper' plane the next morning... a perfect opportunity to visit my friends at the surf station at theologos beach. we had a nice evening, chatting about all the changes in the windsurf biz and all rumors that had been summing up since our last get-together.

(hotel irini - all brand new!... the new puppy at anemos bar does not care)

arriving in afiartis/karpathos the next morning, i found the hotel completely renovated and finished. they were just about to flood the brand new pool. i'm pretty impressed how fast (especially for greek conditions) the finishing process went. holy moly... here's some shots i took:

(the pool area with the new restaurant...)

(hotel overview... really nice done!)

the days went on with pretty hard work, cataloging and repacking all the station equipment and preparing the boardbags for the flight home. at night, i visited some friends at the anemos bar nearby. lots of talks there as well... thanks for all the raki!!! ;)


having everything finished, i'm now looking forward to come here in already two weeks for our first real holiday this season...


stay tuned!
