Surprising I have managed to turn my skin a rather fetching shade of red. Thankfully due to my rather lacklustre application of sunscreen I have more of a patchwork effect rather than being completely red; I think this is better. We spent the morning on a boat going around nearby islands before stopping off for a beach time. As I jumped in the water I realised I hadn't swam for a few years and it took a few strokes before my muscle memory re-engaged. Luckily after a few unwieldy flops I got back into the swing of things.
Later we had to go to sound check for this evenings performance at the festival. This was a slight task as most the performers speak Russian, I speak English, and the head tech man spoke Greek. It was also delayed by 15 minutes by a majority of our performers getting themselves trapped in a lift. But we got there in the end. I feel slightly surplus to requirement as so far my duties have included putting things on a USB stick, taking them off again, and telling a man the running order. I'm not saying these things aren't important but I'm sure someone could've worked out how to do them without me here. Who knows though? Perhaps only I know where a USB stick goes.
I've been enquiring about how to get to my proposed cycling starting point and the answer seems to be 'with great difficulty'. It's not a huge issue but it will add an extra 30-40 miles to my first day. Ah well, I'm sure my burnt legs with love the extra time spent in skin-tight lycra shorts...
