Slow Start

Well, I can't honestly believe that's the time. It was after 9.30 before we roused, nearly twelve hours in bed. Fi was up a bit earlier. We spent a leisurely morning reading and chatting before heading off to suss out Sidari.
It's a bustling town at this time of year, so heaven knows what it's like at high season. We wandered down the main street, checking out the shops on the way, another fridge magnet to add to the ever increasing stash. We're checking out the restaurants for tonight, and there's plenty to choose from.
A right turn down the alley, and we're right on the beach. The sea is a beautiful blue and it's a huge sandy beach lined with sunbeads and bars. These we realise are some of the same ones as is on the street we've just walked down, just the back entrance. The mountains we can see over the sea are Albania. Apparently, you can have a day trip there, should you feel like it.
A gentle walk down the beach, and yes, you've guessed, it's drinky time, with a light snack thrown in. It's ice cream for pudding as we're walk to explore the other end of the beach. Mark notices a sunken boat a few feet out. We then spend a good few minutes watching two men trying to pull the sunken boat with the help of their mate in his car, no joy, just a broken tow rope. Mark sits and watches their endeavours to get it out while we check out the jetty and the other side of the bay, and Fi has a paddle. By the time we return, it's still not pulled out. This could take a while, so we head home for a sit by the pool or, in Fiona's case, a dip.
The pool is not heated, so it's a bit cool, but, after encouragement, or was it ribbing, she gets in, very brave .
Back to Sidari for a meal, all the toutes are outside trying to entice us in. Some have entertainment, we could have watched, Barry White, Miley Cyrus, Ed Sheeran, The Beatles or Madonna, but in the end we plumpt for Whitney Houston, luckily we had finished our meal before she came on. Back home to watch the footie. A good first day.もっと詳しく
