House Hunting and Boat Spotting

Woke earlier than I wanted to, given how late we were last night! I was rewarded by the sight of a glistening Pedi Bay in the early morning sunlight. This was as good as the morning got - the clouds came over and looked quite ominous.

We got our act together and strolled down the Kali Strata into Yialos. We popped in to a couple of agencies discuss possible places we might stay on future visits to the island. We have arranged to look at some before we leave Symi on Wednesday. Better than just relying on web site pictures.

We had a drink at Agialos Cafe before a stroll round the harbour to inspect the ugly, battleship-grey futuristic gin palace (like something out of "Stingray") that has been berthed in the harbour on and off for the last few days. A traditional style Turkish Gulet came in as a real contrast.

The ultra-modern boat had to move to let the Proteus get berthed, and had some difficulty weighing anchor. Spoils the image a bit!

The clouds were still threatening, so we decided that today wasn't the day to walk to Nimborio (we have prior experience of being caught out by rain that way before). So we caught the bus back up to the Horio and had lunch at the Olive Tree before a siesta.

The rain never materialised, but it has been a cooler day than of late ( cooler than the UK!). The clouds have just cleared a little to make a lovely evening. Off down the Sunrise later to play music with George and Clare (I'm billed on Facebook as a "special guest star"!), so not likely to be an early night tonight either...
