Easter Sunday on Symi

After a late start (we were up till gone 2 on Saturday night/Sunday morning), we wandered down to the Olive Tree for coffee and blog posting. Met most of the B-Ps there, some of whom had been on a photo walk with Neil and had a great time.

Lefteris' Mum, who lives next door gave us red eggs, cheese pies and biscuits yesterday, and the neighbour on the other side has just given us even more Easter food!

After lunch, we went for a walk up the road out of town and along the side of the hillside we look at from our little house. Great views over the island and of a town in Turkey to the West.

After that, the relative calm (only a few firecrackers and rifles going off) was shattered by a couple of multiple dynamite explosions, which shook the town and reverberated around the hillsides like thunder. Dust out of the ceiling and swaying lamp fittings. This must be what it is like living in a war zone.

This was the build up to the big fireworks display which we watched from our roof terrace up in the Horio. My iPhone wasn't up to taking decent pictures and I was too busy going "Ooh Ah" at the great show! Only one dynamite bang after that, so maybe that is the end of it....

Tonight we're off to the opening of Toby & Neil's gallery and then off to Syllogos for a meal with the B-Ps and more excitement to come tomorrow!
