It's getting so tha needs t'at on...

Our Festive little boat, even in the rain.

The title, for those who aren't of a northern extraction, means it's getting quite cold here.  I'm  still wearing a tee shirt most of time but am starting to get some rather strange looks and I think the shorts have now been abandoned.   It's nothing like in the UK mind but I don't think we've been out of single figures temperature wise all week and in the mountains there has been snow.  Peter and Alison had some up in Vafkeri last week and the mountains on the mainland are showing their winter plumage once more.  We have also had a deluge of rain in the early part of the week making it difficult to have the windows open on Lesanda, thus getting loads of the resultant condensation inside, which is currently causing us a real problem as the bedding gets wet over night, well at Sanny's side it does so not that much of a problem :-)

Snow on the mountains for Chrimble.

I think that we will have to invest in a much more powerful dehumidifier, the one we brought out from the UK just will not remove enough water fast enough to be of any real use, I guess it's just another thing which will be going home with us when we take the car back.

On Tuesday, San and I had our first Daltons, this won't mean anything to most of the people back at home but everyone here will know exactly what I mean.  They are a Giros (Greek fast food) bar, and we have been going to get a giros from there for over four years now and never managed to do it, we have had them all over Greece but not from Daltons.  Some people advise keeping the place at a distance whilst others wax lyrical about it, so basically you've got to try it and draw your own conclusions.

Us with Peter before we left Vlicho.

So with our resident giros expert,Peter, in tow we bit the bullet and went for it!  It was excellent and had grated carrots and green peppers in it which I have not had before, as far as giros goes we will certainly be going again.  Pete did take a couple of pictures of Sanny devouring hers but as yet they have not arrived, if they get here by the time I've finished writing this I'll add them to if not well there's always next week.  In the meantime Pete is in this picture taken while we were still in Vlicho awaiting out cockpit tent..

Visited our Greek friends in Assos yesterday and as usual they were delighted to see us although Jorgos was down in the olive groove getting in this years harvest we still managed to catch up with all that's been going on in the village since our last village and also come away with our head spinning with all the Greek language which we don't very often use nowadays.  On the way back we decided to have a drive to Paleros and go to the Indian restaurant there.  Good job we did as they are shutting down for the winter on Sunday, get you skates on those who want to go!  Great meal and a good day out for us.
