Late Summer Holiday

 No wifi in our room and it's sketchy on the balcony. Not even data works.  I eventually get to read blogs and sometimes write one 

No news.  That's good news.  Its all very strange, life without wifi, social media, but I'm getting used to it. Except at night when I used to listen to YouTube in the sleepless hours. Now I pass the hours with my thoughts and try to relax by counting sheep, or listening to my breath and Ks snoring.  

The first few sunny days.  Crazy people out there in the sea doing water Zumba. I watch for a few minutes and put my head back in my book.  

The weekend was busy

Families with young children. We heard their happy voices at the far away playground well into the night

The playground is well kept, lots of unusual games.  Right next to the helicopter pad. I've never seen a helicopter land in all our years of holidays here 

I managed 2 swims before the weather changed.

The first swim .  The water was warm but there was a strange breeze and a tide which pushed me back.  I had to battle to move through the water and reach K who was just a few metres away. 

It was a very strange experience. It would have been frightening but I could actually touch the bottom.  Keeping afloat was tiring and it wasn't long before I was battling back to shore.

The next day the sea was back to normal.  I swam a little, just to say I'd done it, then got out to read and muse in the sun

Now we seem to have a wi fi signal. I'm sitting on our small balcony listening to night sounds and drinking a Spanish red 

We went out for supplies today. K got his raki and some greek white wine. This Spanish red was cheap, in a box. It's actually quite good. Not plonk.
