First of all: Hello to…. you who emailed me yesterday – the nice lady whose name appears in the top banner occasionally. I want to say Anne, but I only saw the email for a second then accidentally hit the wrong button and it vanished, I didn’t download it so I can’t reply. Sorry! But thank you and please resend! (How embarrassing.)
Here is your helping of Saturday Symi photos, though only the last few are Symi because of my journey back from Tilos on Friday morning.
That went smoothly enough. The boat was only about one hour late. It was a very grey and slightly hazy morning at sea, and very calm. Coming in to Symi we could see a line of life jackets left abandoned on the rocks, no sign of the refugees until we came closer to the police station. These are, I guess, a new lot of arrivals and the previous group would have gone up to Athens on the Wednesday boat; if there had been any new arrivals since I’ve been away. It looks like Greece is getting more refugees arriving these days than tourists.
Still, it was good to be back. I arrived just as Neil’s aerobics session was finishing so he met me in Yialos and we took a taxi up. My main rucksack with clothes etc. was light, but the laptop and books one was a bit too much for the steps. A quick call into the Olive Tree in case Neil’s order of plants arrived there – he thought he saw them in the back of a car on the way up, but they’re not here yet. Must have been another order – and then home.
I’ve just had a quick look at the weather forecast and it seems we’re heading for thunderstorm on Sunday and Monday, but that’s just the weather forecast; things change. And, apart from that, I can’t think of anything else to tell you, so I’ll let you go and view these last few images. I’ll be back on Monday.
