Day 79 (Thursday)
Spent the day at Antisamos beach. We’ve noticed that the sea follows a similar
pattern here every day. When we first
arrive the sea is a little bit choppy, at about 3:30pm a dozen large waves come
in. You have to be alert at this point
and move your towels away from the sea.
After the waves have gone the surface of the sea turns ‘glasslike’ and
it feels as if you are swimming in a lake.
While we were swimming a family of goats came on to the
beach. A few of them climbed onto the
rocks and started to drink the salty water that had gathered in the rock
pools. Another two noticed the plastic
bag by our towels that contained our lunch, Tracey leapt out of the sea like a
dolphin and managed to save our sandwiches.
Day 80 (Friday)
See Day 79 (but without the goats)
Day 81 (Saturday)
Weather was a bit changeable today (as predicted) so we
spent the day reading, packing and cleaning the cottage. In the evening we went to the local taverna
to say our fond farewells to Pedrangelo, his family, Amanda and Russell, Kevin
and Joyce, Dave and Marian.
Tomorrow is ‘Ochi Day’ in Greece (ochi means No) when they
commemorate the day in 1940 when the Greek dictator Ioannis Metaxas said ‘No’
when the Axis powers asked permission to enter his country. Weather permitting there should be a parade
through the village tomorrow morning. I'll try and get some photos and post them later.
After this we will begin our journey home. We will be flying to Athens in the evening
then on Monday we’ll fly to Heathrow.
