| Charlie & Babs make an offering at the
Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. Poseidon is the Greek god of the Sea
(Neptune to the Romans). Charlie was especially keen to make an offering
since he is soon to go in a ship across the stormy Southern Ocean to Antarctica. |

tan on the party island of Mykonos. |

spots on Mykonos. |

where Theseus killed the Minotaur. |

at Ephuseus in western Turkey. |
