travel diary: 15th of september, ch.6, part I

i forgot to mention this, but our next destination was a small private house owned by a very kind elderly greek man who didn’t speak much english. however, this little awkwardness did absolutely nothing to diminish his hospitality. before we checked in, he handed us his phone, where an open translation app displayed a thoughtful message for us, his late-arriving guests: “don’t worry about the payment. we’ll discuss it tomorrow. you must be very tired today, and you need to rest after your journey.”

as he was leaving, he gave us a brief set of instructions: there were two letters on the keys, alpha meant “open” and alpha meant “close” (he was referring to the car gate). nothing was said about the symbol beta.

“please do not leave the doors open, as animals might come in,” read the polite translation from greek into english.

“perhaps something got lost in translation,” i thought. “what kind of animals could there be? he probably means the balcony door and the front door, and by ‘animals’ he must mean all those little nocturnal bugs.”

the next morning, we drove into town. when we returned, i pressed “alpha” and looked out of the window.

“the gate seems to have closed, but we should probably check,” i said out loud. my companion, however, assured me that everything had worked.

half an hour later, there was a knock at the door.

the old man was standing on the doorstep. he looked rather sad. once again, a phone screen appeared in his outstretched hand:

“but i asked you to close the gate. now the animals could have come in and eaten all the plants in the garden.”

my companion came over, and we apologized together.

and that was how i acquired the second most embarrassing story of the entire trip

from there, we headed to the lake. no matter how much i wish it could, a camera will never be able to fully capture the beauty of certain places. not because of its limitations or the photographer behind it, but simply because some moments are meant to be lived and settle as the barely perceptible residue in the collection of memories held by our hearts taken in The Blue Eye by @itissasha

i woke up to the most beautiful view from the window. the terrace overlooked the sea, with private houses scattered across our hill to the left, while in the distance, down in the valley to the right, the town was tucked away.

hurriedly slipping on my sandals, i began to hear a strange, muffled clanging that gradually grew louder. “sasha, look! hurry over here!” almost slipping, i rushed to the door. and froze: climbing up the wall just a couple of steps opposite our door was a herd of mountain goats. deftly placing one hoof after another, they stretched their curious little faces towards a woven fence, behind which the leaves and yellow fruits of a pear tree were visible.

a black kid had wandered away from its mother and strayed into the weeds. a few minutes later, finding itself separated from the herd, it looked around anxiously and let out a plaintive bleat. soon, it heard a familiar voice in response and scampered through the tall, sun-scorched grass, its little bell jingling as it went

travel diary: 13th of september, ch.4

as sad as it makes me, it was time to say goodbye. as a final gesture, the sun decided to embrace us with its morning rays, making us wake up. we went downstairs for breakfast. it was a little too cold to sit on the veranda, so we decided to stay inside the house. “how did you sleep?” a voice came from behind us. our little friend came over. there was such gentle care and love in her eyes, the kind of love that, i think, she wrapped around every member of her family and all their pets. and now, us too, her new friends.
“very well, thank you,” i answered.
“how did you sleep?”
“well!”
she clearly wanted to say something else, but she was too shy to seem intrusive and went off to watch cartoons.
“to be honest… to be honest, i would really love to pet the rabbit,” i remembered, looking at the cage with the two rabbits. my companion wasn’t particularly happy about the idea at first, but he had to agree. i asked the lady of the house, and she asked her little daughter to take one of the rabbits out of the cage. she nodded excitedly and ran out onto the terrace. the rabbits immediately rushed toward her, hoping for another portion of food and affection.she slowly took the black bunny out, but it immediately started wriggling and accidentally slipped out of her hands. catching him was practically impossible. he ran incredibly fast and kept hiding underneath the guests’ cars. the lady of the house and my companion joined the chase.

the magic of a moment only happens at the very end or at the very beginning: when one day you were choosing the right song from a playlist and, at some point, accidentally stopped, giving those first few seconds a chance to sound for you for the very first time - and, enchanted by the melody, you are suddenly sitting on the floor of your room, romanticizing memories and imagining a beautiful future that will never come to life in quite the way it appears in your mind right now - and that is precisely what makes it beautiful.

and then, when you are driving through a tunnel at night in an unfamiliar city, and suddenly, there it is - a memory that never happened, for the first time in ten years. it unfolds in exactly the same details as it did back then, but instead of feeling dreamy, it feels sad - as if that unattainable movie had truly become unattainable, while we have become more real than ever.
