This week, Kerry has a tiny temper tantrum related to male chauvinism, but also tells of the fun they are having in Mesolonghi. And the electric bike actually works again!

This week Kerry talks about our short trip back to Groomsport to see Laura when she visited from Canada. We pack an awful lot into a few days, and then almost miss our flight back to Greece!
