Still feeling lazy so we're sitting on the balcony again people watching but we need exercise so its off for a stroll to the beach around the bay from the apartment.
It doesn't feel quite so hot today as there's a good breeze and quite a few clouds.
We past the marina, boy there's a lot of boats packed in bobbing about on the beautiful blue sea.
The beach is small and again has fine shingle instead of sand but the water is crystal clear.
We walk right to the end of the bay and find a bar selling 'Dedalos' the local craft beer, well it would be rude not to try some. A table right next to the sea and a lovely view. The beer makes us hungry so we try a few small plates. Tzatziki, Pitta Bread, Cheese Pies and Dakos, a dish of bread, soaked in water and topped with tomatoes and Feta cheese and drizzled with olive oil. Sorry no pictures, it disappeared too quickly.
A gentle walk back past the Cathedral and home in time for Martin to watch the Baggies thrash Portsmouth and go top of the league.
Also managed to catch the latter stages of the Solheim Cup golf. Yank victory so not so good. Still full from lunch and me not fancying another trip downstairs, Martin pops to the supermarket for supplies and we have a salad at home, he managed to pick up a couple of bottles of local wine. 1.5 litres of cooperative Cretan wine for 2.5 euros.
I'm moon watching, its almost a full one.
Those stairs are killing me. Karen it's another 'Hill of Terror ' .Read more
