Symi weekend

Symi weekend
A few photos from a sunny weekend which included a walk to Yialos, and around, a lunch at To Spitiko, a bus-ride back up and a walk down into the village. On Sunday we took a walk up to the museum and had a look around. It’s been wonderfully restored, through the Sala and a new wing are not quite ready, but we were told it will be ready by the end of the year. Entrance is free, at least at the moment, and the restoration works have been done with some funding from the EU – I doubt the UK will get any such treatment if the mad people in charge there pull the plug on Europe. (Angry face icon not available.)

The harbour was again busy on Saturday with three packed day boats and a cruise ship, plus a hydrofoil from Turkey. The weather was calm and the sea flat. It’s hot in the sun and feels a bit chilly, to me, in the shade, but we’re still in shorts and light shirts. By the way, the Dodecanese Seaways timetable for the beginning of November is now up, they hadn’t decided on the schedule when I last saw it which was why it was empty. Neil can get back to Symi on the Saturday he needs to, but only to Panormitis. He’ll have to get a bus from there or walk. Anyway, here are some random images from the weekend for you.
