Where Did The Idiot Walk Every Day From The Mediterranean Sea To The Hilltop Monastery?

The Idiot just spent a week walking 3.5-kilometers each morning from the Mediterranean Sea to the hilltop Monastery of Saint John the Theologian on the Greek island of Patmos. Naturally, after rigorous morning and relaxed afternoon yoga sessions, he came down the same way.

Here’s a taste of what you missed.
