Seemed busier now. SJ

Panepinto arrives at Alexander's, or close by.

Panepinto scooters along the road possibly from Fira to Oia.

There are several similar bends on this road but this comes close. Unfortunately there is no island in the background so this one needs a rethink. SJ

Panepinto follows Lorenz to Perissa, south of the airport on the east coast.

This is close to the north end of the coastal road. SJ

Taking an important call - aren't they all? This one to his psychiatrist to ask for advice while his wife is being chatted up by a kamaki.

Same colour scheme but shot later in the day, on the side of Yazz in Perissa.
