In Holiday Mode

Holidays
Not holy-days for a change
Though there was a big one on the day we arrived and if one is so inclined there's an all-nighter  tomorrow. To celebrate something or other. I did not investigate



Now this we did investigate
Ouzo with a view




Our tame gull
The only fisher allowed in these waters
He floats leisurely along the bay unafraid of humans
Now and again he'll dip in his head and pull out a snack

Fishing is forbidden in this military area. As a result the waters are full of very tame shoals of fish. If you stay still too long they will give a nasty nip to the extremeties



Calm waters 
We had three days of gale force winds which whipped up the sand and blasted us unmercilessly
The sea however remained fairly unruffled and I managed my daily exercise swimming up and down the bay

All is now we'll with our world, though slightly boring

Sleep, swim, eat

    -chcukle- "But slightly boring." Aren't we humans funny. We crave a holiday. Get one, in a peaceful spot. And get a bit "antsy." :-)))))

      One week was fine. I would have been happier if other half had more to do. He was a little list without his daily discussions and nightly night cap gatherings.
      All I need is my book, knitting,pen and paper.....and WiFi!!

      Certainly quiet and no work to do, though I did rinse out a few clothes each day.

      We ended up leaving a day early. Gale force winds and a drop in temps sent us scuttling for home

    Sept. 28th

    Just read: "Meantime in the eastern Mediterranean, a powerful and rare storm is poised to hit. It's unofficially called a "Medicane" (Mediterranean + hurricane), and it's like a hurricane and a typhoon combined. The storm triggered flash floods across Northern Africa in the past few days and is now aiming for parts of Greece and Turkey with strong winds and heavy rain."

    Are you getting weather reports?
