Day 168 of sketching people on the long and uncomfortable overnight ferry ride from Rhodes to Piraeus. Plenty of time to sketch groups, and cobble together scenes of people desperately trying to get a comfortable night’s sleep.

Urban Sketching some Memories of Crete in a small travel sketchbook, as we explored Malia, Rethymno, Heraklion, and took the ferry towards Karpathos.

The ferry that connects the Greek Island of Kos to Kalymnos departs from the Mastichari Ferry port. We got there by bus, and spent a few hours in a taverna waiting for our ferry.

We spent a week on Ile D’Aix, a French island near La Rochelle. I had sewing projects to do, and Red had painting projects. Plus catching oysters and beach combing.

The Turyol Ferry Service is an alternative to the IDO city ferry service, and runs more of less along the same routes – but their ferries are more modern, and their service, more frequent, as well as faster.
