Storm dodging

Not wanting to break with holiday tradition so I went for a morning run while it was relatively cool. Chance to have a little mooch around Gialova. Quite a descent from our little villa. The clue is in the view - panoramic = high up. Took it gentle for my knee. Once on the main(ish) road it was a far more gentle slope. Very pleasant little place - little pier and lots of nice looking beachfront bars and restaurants. The run back was a little more challenging - the pool was ideal for cooling off. A multi-course breakie making use of the provided bread, honey & fruit. Limited plans - just explore as much as the forecasted storms would allow. Walked down to the town beach, marvelling at how quiet it all was - at most there were 6 of us on the beach. Had a nosey at some of the menus - not too astronomic. Decided to walk west of town along Divari beach and maybe take in the lagoon and if really daring the old castle ruins on the hill. All of this dependant on the looming black clouds. The beach also known as golden beach surprisingly given the name was more stoney than the town beach but was nice enough. Rumbles of thunder caused a rethink though and we cut through a camp site to a little road back to ours via the bike hire place. Liz wasn't fussed by the hill back up. Didn't join me in the pool though.Read more
