First Impressions

Late Afternoon, 27 Munychion, 1111BC:

Well, dear reader, we have safely reached land. Our first impressions are relatively good ones, although an element of caution remains after our encounter with the Lotos Eaters.

In the distance we can see smoke, which confirms that some sort of lifeform inhabits this island. The familiar noise of sheep and goats bleating was also heard, reminding many men of their simple lives back home.

This is fantastic news, surely signs of a civilised society that will treat strangers well. Alas, at this moment darkness is near, and all the men are weary. Odysseus, great man that he is, has recommended that we all sleep along the seashore tonight and approach the island's inhabitants tomorrow, which is the approach we will adopt.

By Zeus, I hope they are a friendly bunch!

Goodnight
