A well deserved break

The thing is, when you live like we do, you never really have time off.  Wherever I look I see a job that needs to be done.  When I hear about people who come home from a day at work, lie down on the sofa with a newspaper and the TV zap I can sometimes feel a pang of jealousy - that´s something that I never ever do!
Not that I work all day - far from it. I go for walks and runs and do my yoga, have coffee with friends sometimes (mainly in the winter) and take time to study. But without working hours, you don´t have spare time, either.:) And my inner boss is CRUEL! She whips me and makes me keep going long after the eight hour normal day, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays make no difference.
So, sometimes comes a desperate need to escape.
Like last week.
At a spur of the moment we packed our bags and got on the ferry to Limnos - a four-five hours journey away.
And I don´t think there is a more relaxing way to have a break than on a Greek island. Limnos is incredibly beautiful. Also, surprisingly few tourists (though locales we spoke to said it was normal) - which makes it even more relaxing.
A few days with sleeping, reading, exploring, eating, drinking and you know what - and we´re back in business.
New guests are arriving tomorrow. Welcome!
