      We will do. When you travel with a pace like we do, and go by other travellers we meet on the roads' recommendations (as opposed to following a travel guide book or whatever) then there are always surprises and challenges. But I feel we uncover the reality of the places we visit from a vanlife/traveller perspective, as opposed to something else.
      We love the adventure anyway, it gets us out of bed in the morning 🧡🙏

      Shame about not liking the local aniseed plonk. It's usually a nice cheap tipple guaranteed to get you lashed. Try it with lemonade, limca, twist-up, or calypso, - it helps sweeten & fizz it up. Much nicer than with water.

    In Spain, in Mercadona, you can get a natural Citronella spray, it’s their own brand in a glass bottle, really cheap, and works. You can spray yourself and your bedding with it. If you look in the supermarkets there you might find something similar, or ask in the chemist. In the UK, Avon’s Skin So Soft Original Dry Oil Spray is brilliant, double action as it’s a moisturiser too, it’s on A mazon, you might be able to get it delivered to a locker. If you get bitten look for an Aloe Vera plant, they’re usually everywhere. Cut off a leaf and put the sap on your bite, takes away all the itching. Keep the leaf, the end just dries up, and then you cut a bit off and get more sap for your bites. Also very good for your face! BTW Coconut Water is brilliant for rehydration, it hydrates you more than water and is high in potassium, magnesium and calcium, it’s a great hangover cure too!

A lady in Egypt told me that, and it has always worked. 🤗 Your one pot looked really good, a handy tip for a quick meal even if you aren’t camping 😋 Mozzies are the bane of my life too.

I had netting which I cut to the shape of each window and then affixed it to the outside with flat round MAGNETS (from Dollarama). He was able to have the windows unrolled for ventilation and not get any spiders, wasps, or any other insect inside.

    The island looks amazing & more power to both of you .
    I'm sorry that Janine was feeling unwell with dehydration , dehydration effects are essentially when the blood thickens causing the heart to pump much faster , this is what gives rise to an elevated heartrate , in addition dehydration will also create a general faint feeling with lack of clarity and a general overall feeling of unwell , dehydration can also create headaches , particularly if alcohol is consumed , the good news is that dehydration is easily rectified with plain cool water regularly sipped over a period of an hour or so.

    Corsica with a camper van? Good luck!!!😅😅😅Be careful, do not park overnight anywhere or ask permission from residents, they don't like vanslivers very much. I recommend 2 Corsican specialties to taste: “Figatellu” is a sausage to cook on the barbecue with Corsican bread and “Pietra” is the official beer of Corsica. Also be careful, the coastal roads are narrow, the mirrors sometimes don't survive...😄

    Love that Janine "the peaceful promise that we are where we need to be right now...and it's ok to move forward". Yes! ❤❤❤
    We've sailed around several Ionian Islands and have *never* seen water that turquoise! "Mouth wash blue" is exactly it! Wow!
    Glad you are finding park ups fairly easily here.
    ...and then the rains came...uh-oh...

      @@ThoseHappyDays I honestly believe you would LOVE, love, love it. It's freedom like no other when all you need is the wind in your sails! It's like vanlife but without being limited by where there are roads and all you need is wind and solar 😁 . We did a bareboat charter (ie we hired a boat, on our own, without a skipper or crew) through Sail Ionian. We could do that because my husband already has an RYA Day Skipper qualification which is the minimum most boat hire companies will accept for you to take their boats out on your own. It's so fun to learn to sail though. Sail Ionian and Ionan Mode do RYA courses from Lefkada, or you can join a flotilla. There's loads of options.
      The Ionian is PERFECT for novice sailors too. There are no tides to contend with and it's calm clear seas, easy, line of sight sailing and the most freedom we've ever experienced. You stop into marinas or bays which are completely set up for welcoming sailing boats for supplies every now and again. The rest of the time you can choose if you want to hug the coastline and see the beautiful landscape, stop at a particular place and go onto shore for a while, or find an empty bay and drop anchor to paddle board, snorkel, fish or watch the local wildlife. I cannot describe the peace of waking up to a huge sky of pink and yellow on a blue mirror sea, surrounded by mist on the mountains, coffee in hand sat on the deck as the sun rises...the beauty of it moved me to tears several times. We had dolphins by our boat, a sea turtle...It was magical.
      The biggest cost is hiring the sailing boat. It's not cheap. We saved hard! If you are doing it full time, like vanlife, it's way cheaper than living in a house! There are cheaper ways to do short term sailing though by moving boats for hire companies and stuff.
      In all truth we loved the freedom of it so much that we can see why people choose to take up the nomadic sea based liveaboard life in the same way people take the conscious choice to do full time vanlife. The experience underpinned why we are planning our vanlife dream for once the kids have left home in a few years. We have dogs so liveaboard boat life won't work for us long term.
      Honestly, go down a sailing and liveaboard Ionian UA-cam rabbit hole and see if it grabs you! There's so much amazing info out there and the Greek Islands (and Greek people) are amazing.

    Corsica looks gorgeous! I'm so envious right now. 😊 My happy place is the ocean followed by the mountains so Corsica would be a dream location that I didn't know about, that I'd like to travel to if I was able to travel. Ireland and Scotland would be my second and third choices. I hope you have a wonderful time.
