    June 2, 2023 in Greece ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Lunch completed - what to do... Reading & researching bike routes only went so far and replenishing food supplies would be handy but the threat of rain was ever present and short showers passed over. Decided to head to the nearest decent supermarket in Pylos and while there we'd have a little explore weather permitting. The road into Pylos was a little hairy but made it to the harbour and the sun was out. From there you could see Gialova and it looked grim. Harbour was typically Greek & pretty. Enjoyed the shade. Quite a few people were photographing a house nearby. The plaque indicated it was the birthplace of Greek Winter Olympic Gold medallist. Worthy of note I guess. Can't be many. Headed towards the castle past some busy water side restaurants. All quiet enough apart from the one with yanks in. Could hear them a mile off. Shut uppppp!
    Liz passed on the climb up to the castle though we'd likely as not be driving up there at another point. Pushed on to re-supply. Headed back and finally the rain hit as we settled down on the verandah. Still managed an evening dip.
