Driving Up North


Day 76 (Monday)

Started the day with some food shopping in Aghia Efimia and discovered that the day was actually quite hot so we went to Mirtos Beach.  It’s quite strange to be swimming in the sea at the end of October.  We also realised that this time next week we shall be back home.  I wonder if the weather is the same back in Swindon?  I must check.

Day 77 (Tuesday)

We’ve often looked at the road across the valley and wondered what it would be like to look back at us from there, so off we went.  It’s a spectacular road with great views out to the island of Ithaca.

We enjoyed the drive so much that we kept on going until we reached Fiskardo at the north of the island.  Fiskardo is quite a ‘yachty’ place and we spent a pleasant couple of hours watching people on a Sunsail holiday  bringing their yachts back in to the harbour.

When we got back to the cottage I checked on the Swindon weather, 8 degrees at the weekend, surely that’s a mistake.  I’ll check again later in the week.
