The harbour will look different today as the school and military parade to celebrate Independence Day. This will be happening across all of Greece of course. Last night was the celebration of Evangalismos, and the harbour was lined with lanterns – see the Symi Dream Facebook page or go direct to Symi TV to see the video.

Today’s photos were taken yesterday when we walked down the road to collect something from town, and then took a taxi back up because the thing was quite heavy. After lunch, we had a great time at the piano and then modelling – not in the wandering the catwalk wearing ridiculous outfits no-one would be seen dead in in public, you understand, but building ships and dioramas.

If you look closely at one of the photos, you can see the Sebeco is here. This doesn’t mean it’s running a service yet. There’s nothing on their itinerary, so I imagine it’s here for some other reason, perhaps to be present for Independence Day, I don’t know. Now the wind has died away, all other ferry services are running as usual.
