[Northernraider]

Had a walk round town , stopped for a beer , got milo his first pint .....then dogs decided to tangle round my legs and down i went ....thats twice in the last week ive skint this bloody knee ....at least the last time there was no one around ..this time the town is full of people ... embarrassing. And it was only just starting to heal aswell .

 

[Figaro]

Don't go blaming the doggies just because your pi$$ed and can't walk properly

 

[Lenny HB]

Better get to a sports shop & get some knee pads.

 

[daveandsan]

I gave you a like Tam but not for skinning your knee.

 

[Langtoftlad]

Loving the pix of "Squiffy Milo"


*Please don't anyone go all sanctimonious - I'm sure Tam only gave him a drop and the photos were just fortuitous

It’s a cracking sequence isn’t it. I laughed out loud when I saw the third one; it’s absolutely brilliant?

Did you go last summer or not?

We did with no trouble,, just equipped with the Covid paperwork, which was only glanced at when disembarking at Patras., but nowhere else. Of course, living in EU we did not face the hassle of the UK Covid restrictions and quarantine etc.

We skipped Monevassia as I had been there several times and Basia once when I still had the boat.

Tam

If you are still in Monevassia and heading north I would again, as last year, suggest you call in at Gerakas and/or Kyparisi - the first is only a small diversion off the main road, but the second is a bit longer but more dramatic.

I did visit kyparisia last year ...drove past gerakas as it was dull and raining but also because there were signs saying no motorhomes . I followed the road right through kyparisia to leonidio last year ...some bits were little more than a dirt track

 

[Northernraider]

Had a walk up to the old town of monemvasia this morning ....its a bit more lively than last year as things are open. Was sweltering as its 20° today but the locals are dressed up like its the north pole ...one woman in particular i just had to take a photo of ....see below

 

[Lenny HB]

They probably think you & Jackie are loonies dressed in short sleeves in the middle of winter.
20° is flipping freezing to them.

I had to double check your last pic and thought that Ela was a boy

20C is cool if your used to 30+ degrees - I´d be wearing at least 3 layers at that temperature!

 

[TinaLes]

When I was a wee boy, reaching 9/10 my mother used to buy me long trousers for school, they were so long she would turn them up held with a stitch or two, saying "dont worry son, you will soon grow into them"
Now looking at those ladies in the photos, it looks the are shrinking into their trousers!.

That was in the shade ....its melting today my inside thermometer reading 28 and thats with windows open. Warmest day we've had so far ..it was 18° at 8.30am

I do not remember you mentioning going to Kyparisi. I am surprised you made it along the direct road to Leonidi - was some of it paved? Last time I was there only the Port Police in a 4X4 used it.

I see what you mean. They look like skiing salopettes

Yes they have built a new road linking the two which i believe the residents of leonidi campaigned against for years


Thats a screenshot of last years polarsteps route right through kyparissia ...we didn't like the parking spots available so just kept going .... everything was closed aswell

Yeah its like waterproof trousers a big knitted jumper and she was carrying a fur coat lol
