Breakfast friends at Radio Cafe

Fishing with Emmanuel

Emmanuel took us out at dusk to fish for Benito. We went off the point
and trolled. Aparrently you need to go very fast to catch them. We had
a line with about 6 lures. No bites and no-one else out there was
catching anything.

Γεμιστά

Out neighbour Jeffrey from Melbourne gave us some gemista he had
cooked. Delicate perfect peppers stuffed with rice, herbs, currants
and pine nuts - all gathered from the markets in Turkey. Every bit as
delicious as they looked.

Turkey in the distance

The long walk

We decided to walk around the road to the Paleocastro - the highest
point on the island rather than walk straight up the goat track. It
was terrible. We had to walk uphill for nearly an hour. Fortunately it
was downhill all the way home. The next way I did the steps first and
had the long walk on the road home.

Morning light

Sitting on balcony waitng for girls to wake and this is the view.
Amazing. A cruise ship is coming in to the bay (volcano crater). It is
so peaceful and incredibly beautiful.

Santorini at night

Santorini has grown on the rim of a volcano. Last night we walked
along the rim through laneways to the main town centre. It was
pumping. We found a great restaurant on a rooftop for dinner. Ange and
Jess chose well - ange had moussaka and Jess glifathi. I had beef
cooked in lemon sauce and it was bland and boring. They didn't charge
for it. The pic is the view to the main town centre as we walked
tiwards it.

Santorini

Dinner in cafe in Santirini. We had a small bittlevof ouzo and Ange
had the best moussaka

Σαντορίνη

Παπμε για ένα βόλτα γίρο από το
ηφαίστειο. Τα σπίτια ήταν πολύ ωραία.
Όλλα τα σπίτια ήταν άσπρα.

Hotel Magna Grecia

Athens at last. Thus is the entrance to the hotel with the mist
vibrant purple entrance carpet. Definitely quaint. Great location.
Wandered the streets of Athens on my own and bumped into Dianne and
Kevin. Sat with them for a coffee. Found the βιβλιοποείο and
bought dome texts. Disaster - twisted my ankle on a crazy staircase in
the shop!!!!!!

Dubai

Departing Dubai I had a fantastic view over the city and the islands
in the shape of a palm tree. Too hazy to get a good pic.
