Episode 8: Destination Greece, 1972

Paul and Joanne Ygartua head for Greece and spend 4 months travelling, painting and camping on the beach.

Lots of fun to be had today with Ed! In their transformed British utility van, Paul and Joanne head to Greece through Albania. Their first destination is Corfu, where Paul immediately finds work with 3 local galleries. Painting and living out of their van, they had a pretty amazing life!
