Thursday - escaping wind !

After a tormultuous night by the sea we decided to head to somewhere calmer.
We headed south and have arrived at Ancient Olimpa where we are staying at CC70975.

We had lunch en-van, which comprised of grilled Haloumi, roasted veggies and Feta, drizzled in extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

After a well earned siesta we walked into town. Sis and BIL went to see the ancient Olympic site, whilst Mrs C and I sat in the sun and enjoyed an ice cream and Fredo Cappuccino whilst looking after their little doggie

Yet another site, that's it Robert you have lost your FLT status.:)
 
Missed it again.:(
But I was out!:)
I think it looks yummy and love the huge slab of feta cheese on your salad or is it haloumi?
Hope the weather s stays safe.
 
I came through Belgium Lux Germany Austria Italy , took boat from venice to Igomenitsa ! No tolls far less diesel great roads , little traffic .
Drove down the coast from Igomenitsa right down the peleponisos , paid tolls in greece but the roads are empty , my Greek mate said it,s because the people can, t afford the fuel ! In a small mini market I paid for some beers and a pack of water with a 50euro note and the girl said we dont see many 50s round here these days .
 
I,m on Naxos in the kyclades at present funny weather for time of year huge storms , much needed rain , I hope I can get off on the 2nd more storms promised .
Yesterday I drove 25klm through mountains IN the clouds could only see 20 yards slow going hairpin bends etc good fun reminded me of driving british motorways in autumn !
 
Late sept early october is storm time around Greece,,,,Better further south though in Crete,,,BUSBY,,
 
Been living here 27 years I can,t remember this much cloud rain. And wind at this time of year usually the odd thunderstorm but then clear again ! But I,m not complaining it hardly rained at all last winter the islands are parched so its good news apart from boat cancellations .
 
Saturday / Sunday

When we woke yesterday morning the strong winds had passed and the sea was calm.

We took another walk along the promenade again and saw three turtles in the distance.

We decided to continue our journey north and have come to Parga and are staying at CC48060.

1993 last time I was there
 
When we were there 3 years ago in September Greece had their worst storm for a hundred years. A lot of the coastal roads the edges of them were washed away.
