The
temperature wasn’t forecast to drop below 10 degrees last night, so for the
first time on this trip we didn’t bother with the thermal screen covers.
We still had the heating on for a while last
night and again when we got up but when we opened the blinds this morning there
wasn’t a single smudge of condensation and this was the view that greeted us.
We’ve decided
to stay here at the Bouka Taverna for another night and we’ve been on the road
for exactly a fortnight now, so after a well deserved lie in we busied
ourselves with changing the towels and bedding.
We had also heard back from those very nice people at Motorhome WiFi
with a solution to our problem with connecting our MiFi to the internet. I struggled initially with translating Greek
websites until Lisa spotted a dropdown box with an option to convert to
English. Once we had found that, the
process was relatively straightforward and we now have unlimited data for the next
month. Whether it will be strong enough for me to stream the Tractor Boys’ visit to Old Trafford this evening remains to be
seen.
It was all
lovely and quiet for a while until this guy decided to get busy with his mini
chainsaw, pruning all the trees around the van.
Note the total lack of safety gear.
No gloves, no hard hat, no goggles, no harness.
A veritable health and safety nightmare.
So we left
him to it while we went for a long walk down the beach.
And what a
fabulous stretch of sand it is too, running unbroken for a distance of nearly
10 miles.
We seemed to
have it all to ourselves with the exception of a solitary fisherman and another
couple of van folk from the taverna.
My
pasty legs got their first exposure of the year to the Sun’s warming rays.
I checked last year’s Italy blog and this
didn’t happen until the 1
st of March so I’m a few days ahead of the
game.
This
afternoon’s forecast showers never materialised, although it did cloud over and
cool down a little after 3pm so we hung out at the van until tea time.
I get the impression that some of the people
who stay here spend little or nothing in the taverna, which isn’t really
playing the game to my way of thinking.
We went back in again for our meal this evening.
This is what you get if you order a pork chop
round here and it only cost €8,50!
I’d
already ploughed through half a Greek Salad, a large plate of fried aubergine,
bread and some of Lisa’s squid by the time this turned up.
Just as well I’m getting my 10k steps in most
days at the moment.
