My wife said a trip to the pharmacy is needed not ouzo

And those are the views I remember of Syvota! Last time we were there in the boat we were on the back wall of the harbour.

Im feeling a little delicate this morning ...i sat out till 2am with the neighbours drinking wine and roasting chestnuts on the fire ....i feel tre terribleu this morning ...and to make matters worse i have so many mosquito bites its not funny
I've had to take antihistamines to stop scratching

The mossies here dont make a noise so you're not even aware they have been near you unlike the terrifying Apache helicopters in spain and Portugal.

They must have bitten me during the day though when i had shorts on as i was wearing jeans socks and a hoody last night but my waistband ,ankles , behind my knees etc i have around 20 bites in total ☹

They were getting vicious just before we left a couple of weeks ago. I found the best repellent is the Jungle one but I haven't seen it in Greece so take my own from UK. We give the inside of the motor home a quick blast of fly spray before we go out of an evening, so all the windows and doors are closed, then when we get back open them but keep the fly screens across but I don't know if you can use fly spray with the dogs around?

We have two of those ! One in moho and one in boat. Brilliant for wasps, not so good with flies and useless for mozzies.

To me that’s what a lot of travelling is all about, meeting like minded peaple to share stories and make new friends.I have friends all over the world and this country and still keep in touch with them now and then and I met them forty odd years ago. Happy travels.

Yes i met a few on my first long trip 2 years ago but not so many last year

When i had my vw campers for years i met people through them all over the place.
I find it harder these days as most are couples and me being solo i feel im intruding on their space etc so i tend to hold back

But im going to try making the effort a bit more this year


That said the 2 german guys who arrived last night are also solo

As a traveling couple I would say don't let that put you off we're always well chuffed to have someone besides the other half to talk too!

 

[nicholsong]

Yeah in a perfect world ....but telling me not to scratch is like telling milo not to bark


Its impossible ive been scratching all night

Try anti-histamine cream as it goes straight to the problem instead of through the bloodstream.

 

[Ukbandit]

Yeah

I download in full quality with that app Tam

 

[Northernraider]

I download in full quality with that app Tam

Can you tell me how you do it?
At the minute i dont download anything to the phone it just appears in my gallery as dji video ...but photos only dji cache

I was told previously you needed to connect the drone to a computer or remove the sd card and put in computer.
Because of this i have not tried

 

[Northernraider]

[Mr porky]

Greece just announced a 3 week lockdown. You might need to go somewhere that has service points.

I use an iPhone or IPad without any issues. I just select the files from the DJIGo app then press the download icon, and they get downloaded to my phone in full resolution, I just read the link Smiffy put on, and it seems to be an issue with Android.

Too late i moved from there this morning ....im now on lefkada ...just arrived.
Theres waste disposal here but no water.
From what i can see the lockdown starts on Saturday from 6am but ive not read all the details yet...not sure if movement is now restricted or not as they stated on monday they were not doing that.
If it is i may make a dash for the Peloponnese tomorrow.

Only one other camper here which just turned up

I loved Lefkada,,BUSBY.

 

[Langtoftlad]

Fond memories of Lefkada/Lefkas - but yikes, was 16 years ago !

Wasn't a motorhome holiday, just a taverna, but very nice.

 

[Northernraider]

So after doing some shopping this morning for fresh fruit and veg and the most expensive beer i have ever bought i drove south to lefkada island ....i had planned to stay here a few days but with the lockdown i dont fancy being on my own for 3 weeks and the spot i am at is pretty deserted so im going to make a dash for the pellopenese.

The french people i was parked with before have gone to Elia beach where there is water and a baker van delivering each day so i think im going to head there and join them
I hadnt planned to move that far so quickly but id rather have some company.

Had to use my first tollroad today to get on to lefkada ....€7.50 to go through a 400 metre tunnel ..... outrageous lol.

So between the €32 beer ( Mythos no price marked and apparently €6.20 refund for bottles but dont know if any shop will refund ) and my other shopping which came to €10 including charcoal its been an expensive day ....the beer better taste good

Wetlands

A pasty and large donut from bakers for lunch

Smallest island in greece only one house only accessible by rowing boat

Entering lefkada

Parked by old windmills for doggy walk

That long narrow strip centre top of photo is the road with the old windmills

And tonights location parked on this stretch of beach

First sunset ive had on this trip

Theres actually no water or showers here at the minute in fact only toilet disposal and grey water.
Luckily i found a tap earlier so filled up tank then..

But now i will get both cassettes emptied in the morning at least before i move on.

Not sure yet but i may make a dash to corinth before Elia beach and pick up a kayak from the only decathlon in Greece



Anyone know where Hymerbell is now and if he's aware of the coming lockdown?

Whatch your payload Tam 50 bottles of beer is quite heavy.

Mythos is not bad very drinkable.

Hate to break it to you - but that ain't fresh fruit & veg [even for a Scot] !

50 ?? Try 20 lol

As i said its the most expensive bottles of beer ive ever bought

 

[Northernraider]

That wasn't the shopping

That was the bakers ...those 2 and a loaf of bread another €5.70 lol

But if lockdown ill be stopping at lidl tomorrow for more supplies lol.


I may also head to corinth first and pick up a kayak ....i hope it stays sunny

3 weeks of lockdown should get me a nice tan

Ha ha, when I first moved back up north as an adult I worked with a wee guy who always said his favourite veg was Heinz spaghetti
