A walk to Panormitis (2) Continuing yesterday’s theme, here are some more photos taken on the walk to Panormitis last Sunday. We’d set off early and taken plenty of water and a sandwich or two. The first part of the walk was on the shaded side of the countryside, as the sun is quite low at this time of year and not yet (at that time of day) over the hills. I was still sweating like a glass blower’s a… mind you, but not because of the sun.
That (above) is Stavros Polemou over on the right, the highest church on the island. This is Neil, still walking and not yet limping, though I did have to stop around here and adjust the plasters on my heel (new walking boots).
There was some traffic on the road (we’d lost sight of the walking couple by now), we were offered a lift but we were there for the walk, we got lots of toots and waves and hellos from loads of locals (we only saw three other ‘ex-pats’ the whole day, apart from Jenine and the boys who we met at Panormitis). I think we saw every taxi at least four times during the walk too, and the buses hurtled past us pretty often too, but mainly everyone was heading in the same direction as us.
Past the olive grove…
And past the olive grove…
To where there is land for sale and a bit of a building already started. Fancy a taverna in the middle of nowhere? This is where some folk were going to have a rave in the summer (last year or this, can’t remember) but they were not able to get permission becasue of fire safety -we’re in the middle of a very dry wood in the height of summer after all and nowhere near a fire hydrant or water…
And on past Nanou, which is down there somewhere… More photos tomorrow! Do try and keep up.
