Bit of a changeable week...

Vasiliki from a new angle.

 Well Geoff is about half way through his stay with us now and for most of this time the weather has been fantastic, although I think maybe a little hot for him.  The last three or four days though have been pretty changeable but it looks like it may just be a short hiatus and things will improve from tomorrow onwards.

Lands end Lefkada style, the southern point of the island.

Our dilapidated Lighthouse.

We decided the other day to go down a road (stone track really) which we can see from our house and that leads towards the islands southerly extreme.  The road is really only suitable for four wheel drive vehicles but offers some fantastic views which you don't get from elsewhere.
It eventually joins onto the lighthouse road from which, I am reliably informed you can frequently see dolphins.  They were not present when we were there!  The lighthouse although still working is in serious need of maintenance, the concrete is degraded and re-bar showing all over the place but I suppose the Greeks have more urgent needs for funds at the moment.  This really is a fantastic island and offers something for everyone if only more people would come here to appreciate it.

 

Beautiful colours of early summer.

My bargain outboard.

And Passerelle (Gangplank)

We went to the boat jumble sale at Vliho Yacht Club yesterday where I got a couple of "bargains", a Passerelle (Gangplank) for the new boat and an outboard motor for the tender.  Both need a little TLC but for €35 you can't complain.

Sandra managed to get a picture this morning of a rainbow, she actually took two, one of the right end and one of the left.  The left side which was brighter ended up being video, so the right is reproduced here!

Rainbow this morning.
