Bob (or anyone else), I haven’t got the Skopelos webcam link here. Could you post it for me please so that I can wave properly? You have two and a half hours to wake up and do it - no brownie points for anyone who does it after 10:30am your time!

Wow, you seem to be getting your dinner cheaper and cheaper. My guess is that by the last night you will be paying €7.50 for a three course meal with wine and including the tip!

All change, Bob. It’s still windy so they are reversing the route, Alonissos first, then Skopelos. Pure guesswork at the moment, maybe 1pm your time, but don’t hold me to that, I’ll give a shout when we leave Alonissos and have an ETA for Skopelos. In the meantime, our bus into town was the packedest we have ever experienced - and I’ve experienced packed buses in my time! Conductor lad kept harassing everybody to “Come back little more”, again and again. We at Troulos were the last to get a seat. “Go back more. Go close your wife. If you don’t have wife you find one now”. This picture was the last I could grab before several people were leaning against my photography shoulder.

Which boat are you on Dennis? If its Ag Nikolas is Victoria on? We went last monday as Victoria was only on Mon and Thurs last week and thought it would be good to have her on board. Hope you do the little bus trip up to the old town on Alonissos, it's worth a look.

Victoria is here - yesterday’s trip was called off due the wind, and rescheduled for today. We’ve already done the bus trip (this might be our 11th trip on this boat!!!

Heads up Bob, we are just pulling in to Skopelos - couldn’t warn you before as my 4G signal disappeared.

Great stuff, we saw a lot of dolphins on the way back from Alonissos last Monday. If I'm at my desk when you are in Skopelos I'll check the webcam.

Judging by the big white coach sitting there I guess a ferry is due in?

Keep poising Bob - one hour before we leave (2pm your time) and we are wending in the direction of the webcam. Haven’t seen a white coach Kev.

Its parked in the big parking/loading space in front of the ferry docking area, you will see it when you get there. Some kind of big silver estate car there too.
