This morning I brought a pipe with me down to the water front to have a bit of quiet time. I brought my Peterson pipe loaded up with a tobacco that had a bit of coffee flavouring. Delicious. It was nice to just be by the water and hear it ‘lapping up against the shore. Visually beautiful along there. If I lived there, that would be a morning routine spot for sure. Gorgeous.

Sadly, we came to our last full day in Barcelona. We were no longer living in the charming neighborhood of Barri Gotic and since there was nothing of interest to keep us where we were, we had breakfast at the hotel (of far less quality than anywhere else in Spain) and quickly left to begin our day. We walked down to the Metro stop to find the Red Route Tour Bus for the Hop On Hop Off City Tour run Read on...

We left Blowing Rocks on a, beautiful, fine clear autumnal morning. Only a few miles out, our route took us onto a road that as usual was climbing. It was intermittently seal then gravel then back to seal. We climbed Mount Hebo on a winding sealed road with plenty of switchbacks getting to around 3800 feet. On the descent down the other side we came to Hebo the Village. Pretty small but very sceni Read on...
A couple of years ago while tackling Mt. Kerkis on Samos there was an incredible view of Ikarias long ridge running nearly the entire length of the island. Back in the day Ikaria had a reputation as an isle exile and is still currently known as a blue zone, i.e., a place where many people live long lives. While I did not run into any there were, of course, a couple of hikes that I wanted to do on Read on...

Thursday: Started the day off with doing the Ithaca highlights. Start Read on...
