Last night the dogs and us went to the campsite restaurant. There was only a very limited menu because it was their first night open, but Sarah and I had a pleasant Greek meal rounded off by a far too big complementary ouzo!

When we got up in the morning we were visited by the owner of the site asking if we would be willing to move Basil. He had apparently had a call from a long standing Italian client who wanted our particular pitch, A5, from tomorrow until June. We were non committal and said we would thing about it.

We went about our normal lazy day duties – Sarah walking the dogs on the beach – me researching the next month in Greece. But then after lunch the owner appeared in panic and explained that the Italian had actually arrived a day early. So he ran around helping us to move pitches, to A7, just two spots down the seafront and then promised us a nice bottle of wine as recompense. We will see if that materialises.

Pitch A7 – Can you spot the difference from yesterday’s Pitch A5?

Later Sarah and I went for a long walk on the beach. Melek amused us both by refusing to cross the smallest stream you have ever seen. When Sarah eventually picked him up and plonked him in the middle of the stream, rather than hot footing it out of there, he proceeded to stand in the stream and have a long, leisurely drink of water.

Ionion Beach

Rather bizarrely at one point in our walk we came across a Greek flag proudly flying over an isolated pile of rocks on the edge of the sea. This confused me, but could it be Greece’s proud defiance over suggestions by other European countries that they should sell some of their islands to reduce their debt! I will never know.

What’s the purpose of this?

Because this is a short blog, due to it being one of our lazy campsite days I thought I would introduce you to one of the essential pieces of kit for long term motorhoming – an iBoost active wifi antenna. One of the benefits of this piece of hardware is that you can pick up wifi signals from considerable distances. I know of people who use theirs to park somewhere in a town and make use of the Macdonald’s free wifi.

We tend to use ours more on campsites. Many campsites give you one code for their wifi and it will work for only one device at a time only. We, on the other hand regularly use 2 smart phones, an iPad, 2 kindles and a laptop. Sometimes two or even three of these devices are working at a time. The iBoost can be used to connect to the campsite wifi and then creates a secure network for our motorhome. We then connect all our devices to the iBoost. One wifi connection, multiple devices using it.
