| Castaways on Gilligan's ... Gilliguki's Island! |

We arrived in Samos, one of the North-Eastern Aegean Islands of Greece, by ferry from Kuşadası, Turkey, on June 16th, 2002. A Greek ferry strike left us stranded on the island which we thenceforth explored for about a week until June 24th, 2002. We finally departed by plane to Munich from where we took a train to Austria.
