Jan and Cora Gordon
I started collecting books by Jan and Cora Gordon many years ago, books about travel and art. I must admit that I had not looked at the books for ages - other interests intervened! Then when looking at the new ebooks on Project Gutenberg I spotted Poor Folk in Spain. The Luck of Thirteeen is also available on Project Gutenberg.
Read more about Jan and Cora Gordon:
Vagabonds Abroad, by Duncan J D Smith: "during the 1920s the British couple Jan and Cora
Gordon were something of a cultural phenomenon."
The Jan and Cora Gordon Appreciation Blog "I have been researching the life and work of Jan and Cora Gordon for some 32 years. I have accumulated possibly the biggest collection of the their work and artifacts in private hands. The research started in 1978 and is ongoing to this day. It is a long slow and hard process as it has been funded entirely by myself."

Greek Ferry Firms Facing Dire Straits, Sinking Fast | Greece.GreekReporter.com Latest News from Greece
"The government has also delayed paying subsidies for unprofitable routes, for up to eight months " That could have a significant impact on travel to smaller islands. I've known a subsidised ferry not run until the subsidy was paid, and that was just a short "red tape" delay.
