Picking up
I’m talking about the temperature and the number of visitors when I say ‘picking up.’ The chilly north breeze has died down, but the number of boats arriving per day has increased. We now have the Spanos boat from Rhodes, the Sebeco and the Panagia coming in, as well as the inter-island ferries of the Blue Star line. Maybe not every day, and the timetable will alter over this Easter week, but it’s a good start. Remember if you’re heading this way, you might have to arrive at Panormitis, but there is a bus, though not every hour as there is from Yialos, Horio and Pedi, so plan ahead.
I thought I’d drop in a photo of the ravine I was talking about yesterday, though I notice I wasn’t directly over it when I took the snap. That’s because I’d have to stand on the bridge and when I was up there the other day, there were a few cars about, and the bridge is not that wide. I’d also just walked 1.5 miles uphill and fast, and the extra two yards would have done me in. No, not really, but there were cars passing, and I didn’t want to get in the way. Anyhow, you might get a rough idea of where I am talking about from the photos which, if nothing else, show you the blue skies we are now enjoying. They may well soon be filled with Sahara dust as the infamous ‘red rain’ passes over, but for now, I’m enjoying the fresh air and views.
