Milos

This morning we awoke to an overcast day that gradually warmed up and turned out to be a cracker!Andrea and I teamed up with Paul and Jan Smith and hired a car to get us around the day. Others hired 4 wheel drive buggies - we were very glad of the car!
We had a rough itinerary to follow for the day and the first stop was for coffee.. driving around Milos is no mean feat! The old roads winding through narrow villages on the left hand side of the road was an experience in itself! Paul was a legend driving, Andrea navigated and Jan and I sat in the back holding on for dear life and back seat driving!

After our coffee stop we stopped at a little place with the most quaint colourful shanties right on the water. It made for lots of photo ops!

For lunch we stopped at a little village called Plaka. I took a lots of video and pics here of this stunning little village. We bought a pork souvlaki from a cute shop, and were sitting outside the shop when there was a huge crash and part of the ceiling in the shop came away due to a water leak. It was lucky no one was standing there ordering! Needless to say it was cleaned up and then business as usual!

Our next couple of stops were just absolutely beautiful and everything your hear about Greek Islands lived up to its reputation! It was magical swimming and exploring these amazing inlets. The water is crystal clear and 23 deg.

It was a fabulous day with our friends! We came home and enjoyed another lovely dinner at our new favourite Greek restaurant.Baca lagi
