iOS 6 Mobile Safari debugging

One nice thing about iOS 6 is that you can remotely debug via the Safari desktop Web Inspector.  This also works with the iOS simulator that comes with Xcode.

Back to the Athens of the South

We had an early morning flight out of Athens on Air France to Paris.  For some reason, we arrived really late to the airport.  Luckily I was able to check in with George since he could check in with Sky Priority.

After arriving at at Charles De Gaulle Airport, I said goodbye to Kristen, George, and Dimitri since I had a different flight back to the U.S.  From there, I flew to Atlanta and then on to Nashville.

Back to the mainland

At around noon, we checked out of the hotel and headed to Poros to board the 2:30pm ferry.  We had coffee while waiting.

After arriving in Kyllini, we headed to Corinth for dinner at a pizza place.  I had a peinirli with kaseri, soutzouki, camel meat, and butter.

We had to stop multiple times on the way back to Athens since Dimitri wouldn't stop screaming. It got so bad that George's mother decided to drive so that George could sit in the back seat.  Dimitri was crying so hard that he vomited.

Drive to northern Kefallonia

We first drove up to Assos.  George's mother went for a quick swim.  Everyone had coffee or drinks.

From Assos we drove up to Fiskardo. There we had dinner. I had calamari stuffed with haloumi cheese and ouzo sauce.

We headed back to the hotel and had to stop twice since Dimitri was screaming.  George wanted to go for a quick swim at the beach, but it was dark and the beach bar was closed.  So instead we just had drinks from the hotel bar.

St. Andrew's foot

At around noon George, Leonidas, their mother, and I headed to Moni Agiou Andreu. There we saw their museum of icons and other items from other churches in Kefallonia. The church had a relic of St. Andrew's foot.

After that we visited the Castle of St. George before heading back to the hotel.

For dinner I had cod with garlic potatoes and then lemon ice cream at an ice cream place. Dimitri chipped one of his front teeth at dinner.  Kristen and George bought some Robola wine.

The caves of Kefallonia

After breakfast we headed toward Sami to see the Drogarati cave and then Melissani Lake. After that we went to the white pebbled and blue watered Myrtos Beach.

For dinner I had rooster and pasta at a restaurant in a hill above the beach.

We were going to have dessert sometime after arriving back at the hotel, but I fell asleep while waiting.

Lost with sheep in Kefallonia

At around noon we stopped by Argostoli and walked around a bit. Then we went to Costa Costa beach.

In the evening we headed to Poros to pick up Leonidas. We had dinner there as well.

On our way back to the hotel the caravan got lost and we ended up taking a dirt road. We unexpectedly encountered a huge flock of sheep which caused everyone to laugh uncontrollably except for Dimitri who woke up and started crying since he had no idea what was going on. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good picture since the chaos all happened too rapidly.

Greek wedding


After having breakfast at the free breakfast buffet, we drove to the Temple of Epicurean Apollo at Vasses.  The road was quite windy.

In the afternoon we sat by the pool and Dimitrios and George went swimming.

In the evening we headed to Sotirios's wedding and then the reception.

Driving to Kyparissia

We waited a little bit for Antonis and Alexandra before heading out.

On the way to the hotel in Kalo Nero, we first stopped at Ancient Mycenae to see the Citadel of Mycenae with its Lion Gate. At the site was also the Tomb of Aegisthus. Nearby we visited the Treasury of Atreus.

We then went to Nafplio for lunch. I had moussaka. After lunch we headed to a seaside cafe for Greek frappes.

We arrived at Kalo Nero sometime after 8pm and checked in. My room had two stories.  In the lower level was a sofa bed, bathroom, kitchen sink, stove, refrigerator, and small oven. Upstairs had a combined pair of twin beds and another bathroom.

Kristen didn't want to do anything, so I headed back to my room. I went to a nearby store to get a chocolate filled croissant and some cans of soda.
