Nimborio at Last

Last night we had dinner at the Olive Tree, which also held a fundraiser for the medical surgery and Symi Animal Welfare. This took the form of a performance by a duo called Ellis & Connolly who are based in Cambridge - lots of Beatles songs and other mainly 60s covers. As the audience were mainly of that era, much singing along ensued. Some laughs and 90 Euros raised for good causes.

Despite having stopped by the Sunrise on the way back last night, this morning we were up early and refreshed to clear, blue skies. We set off down the Kali Strata into Yialos and walked up over the hill past St George's Church on the top. Coming down into Nimborio, there were only two other tourists there. Good to see Maria and her daughter and Manolis again. Sat enjoying the peace of the bay over a lemonade and watched a couple of gulets come into anchor there.

Headed back into Yialos along the coast road, enjoying the clear blue skies and sea. The concrete of the road was hot, but a breeze had come up which cooled us down. I was impressed by the newly installed solar-powered street lights - what a change from when we first walked along what was a dirt track.

Coming into town, delighted that Tholos was open. We had a very tasty lunch there, watching the Panagia Skiadeni come into harbour. Boasted the decaying Lazy Days on the way round to catch the bus back up the hill. Stole some WiFi from outside the Sunrise and then wandered back to our apartment. Read for a while before our eyelids wouldn't stay open. Awoke to a still hot afternoon. Proper tourist day :-)
