And then we arrived at Toroni where we parked up by the beach , we had a walk towards the old acropolis on the hill but the sign said 2.7km and after we had walked 4.2km and still not got to it we turned back as blu was getting tired
Nice view up the hill though

Our first Bulldog Arnold got his head in the madras curry Tub, he was licking his chops for about 3 hours, we was a bit more careful from then on poor lad

What a fantastic name for a dog, I love it

 

[Onemanandhisdog]

Are you insane!!!

Curry and dogs don't go ....I don't need 4 dogs with diarahohihay lol

No sense of adventure!!

 

[Minxy]

She farts and snores the worst of them all lol.

I bet that's what they say about you .... especially after the curry!!!

Great pics again Tam. Is that weather normal for that time of year there. I know in the summer it would be really hot but also then there would be so many peaple about it would not be the same

Yeah I think it's pretty normal. The last 2 years I was here it was quite similar although 2 years ago there was a lot more rain November and December. This year I've been lucky and its been dry . I expected it to be colder in the North than it was in peloponnese, I expect Turkey to be similar till I get down south a bit.

Summer time the temps are up in the 40's which is too hot for me really and the dogs and very very busy with tourists. I think the shoulder seasons would probably be the most ideal .

 

[reckless]

Thought of you yesterday Tam Northernraider watching Ben Fogle New Lives in the Wild. Visited Niall Harbison who's set up a sanctuary for street dogs in Thailand. Inspiring. Not only is he saving, helping the dogs but it seems the dogs saved him too.
His ultimate aim is to reduce the number of street dogs worldwide by 1 million which seems a ridiculous target for one man but somehow listening to him, you believe he'll achieve it.
Apologies to non-dog lovers for thread drift

Surely there’s an extra nought on the end by mistake?

Has to be, looks like a bling horse box conversion

 

[Just smiffy]

It’s over priced by 940,000….

 

[Northernraider]

I doubt it ... they have less fancy ones at £250k .

 

[CazPaul]

I doubt it ... they have less fancy ones at £250k .

Actually thinking about it I do remember that company now, the owner used to build luxury yachts then moved to motorhomes, Newton Abbott based.

They used to do a lot of PVCs bespoke builds but then moved onto luxury coachbuilds.

Pics of the day .

We hiked up to the cannons this morning before leaving toroni

We then continued north east and stopped to visit ancient stagira , the birthplace of Aristotle it's believed he's also buried here. I put the drone up to get a better layout of the old city as its quite hard to work out from the ground ... I'd only had the drone in the air 5 minutes and some out of breath highly strung woman came to tell me it wasn't allowed ... she was getting mauled with the dogs while I brought it back from way over the harbour area . No signs or anything to say no drones and no kiosk or anything for entry just a unmanned gate so how they expect folk to know is anyone's guess . But anyway I'd got most of the pics I wanted before she came anyway and got the rest on the return flight. Its a free site to visit. Parked up on the quiet access road for tonight ...nice little private beach next to me.

Just be careful with the drone Tam, I remember a few years back, some Brits got jail time for "Plane Spotting" in Greece ?

Found the following which may be helpful:
Greece allows tourists to fly drones for recreational purposes in free-fly zones as long as they are flown within 50 meters (160 feet) radius of the operator. To find which zones are free-fly zones, we encourage you to use the free Drone Aware app provided by the Greek Authorities: Drone Aware Greece.

That's ridiculous lol ..50 metres I can take those pics without a drone. I was at 120 metres high and 4-500 metres radius.

I absolutely love these photos Tam, tbh your an artist waiting to be discovered

But i’m concerned that Blu is going to grow into a donkey

I cannot get over how quickly Blu has become just another member of the pack, it’s brilliant

 

[Northernraider]

No place to put bigger dog beds ... they all just bed hop . It's like musical beds in here most of the night

 

[corconx]

You got the floor!

Yes, can't believe how much Blu has grown in just a couple of weeks or so...!
