Download In The Dolphin's Wake: Cocktails, Calamities, and Caiques in the Greek Islands AudioBook Free
An amusing and erudite account of Harry Bucknall's 183-day journey through the Greek islands from Venice, in the Western world, to Istanbul, in the East. In the summertime of 2006, Harry Bucknall travelled from Venice to Istanbul - a journey across the Aegean greater than 5,500 mls that included the glories of Support Athos, 36 islands, and every island chain in the Greek Archipelago. In addition, it involved 57 sea passages on 35 ferries, 4 getting art, 3 hydrofoils, a fishing caique, a sea planes, 11 buses, 2 trains, an open-top Land Rover, and a duck-egg-blue 1961 Morris Oxford. Recounted with humour, pathos, and sometimes drama, this is not only a journey through the Greek islands but also a journey through Greek history, mythology, custom, and folklore - a Greek island friend loaded with excursion, mishap, and laughter offering a modern day image of Aegean life today.
