Walking on the Trail of Lord Byron (New York Times)

Elise Maclay schrijft bijna poëtisch over de Pindos. Ze maakt wat foutjes (Ionnina ipv Ioannina, Drakalimmi ipv Drakolimni) maar die vergeef ik haar graag. Ze schreef dit in 1990, toen ik nog nooit in Griekenland was geweest.

FROM childhood, I have loved walking and reading, ideally in close conjunction. A loaf of bread, a jug of wine? For me, a book and a backpack are enough. Especially if I can walk in the footsteps of one of my favorite authors.

Last spring I did just that, roughly approximating the itinerary of the poet George Noel Gordon Byron on his initial foray from Prevesa on the Ionian coast to the interior of northwest Greece.
