Sometimes Walter has the Poros syndrome. Poros is an enchantingly beautiful island in the Saronic Gulf, almost a suburb of Athens, there are fast ferries, so of course it is very touristy there. But the island is beautiful and diverse: many small bays with turquoise clear water, forested hills, a small town almost like the Choras on the Aegean islands up the mountain, a beautiful monastery. We stayed there for a whole week three years ago, hiked a lot, swam, enjoyed the tavern life.
And then Walter realized that we would have to leave at some point, otherwise we would never be able to get off this island. We were helped by the fact that one evening a new bar opened up directly opposite our boat, and there was hip-hop all night long at maximum volume. We were happy to be able to continue our journey without too much melancholy.
But the Poros syndrome is stubborn, it comes again and again, when a port, an island, an anchorage is particularly beautiful.........
