Summer is a coming...

Parga on a lovely spring day.

Other than a really huge thunder storm on Sunday and a very windy day on Thursday it's been a stonking week weather wise.  We hired a car over the weekend and went for Saturday evening up to the Katoghi to have a super evening with our good friends Alison and Peter, who contrary to some reports are open for business, get yourselves there and have a treat.

Looks like the dredging has finished.

 On Sunday we decided to have a ride out on the mainland a visit Parga which is one of our favourite places, it was surprisingly quite even though it's still early in the year, we have been many times earlier and found it buzzing but not on Sunday.  This didn't matter we still managed to sit and enjoy the place with a coffee - polly orao!  On the way home we stopped at Lygia to have a meal at a little known restaurant near the fishing harbour it was beautiful and very reasonably priced as it tends to be away from the tourist areas.

Great buddies, Deb and Jez.

For a fairly long time now they have been dredging out the northern approach channel into Lefkas but it looks like this may now be complete as a couple of days ago I happened to spot the dredger being towed southwards by a tug boat, hopefully they may now dredge some parts of the channel in that direction which are getting very shallow in places.

Very kindly, Jez and Debbie took us to Taj Panorama, the Indian restaurant at Paleros on Wednesday night for a wonderful evening of food with real taste!  My fix completed for a few days.  They always seem really pleased to see us there and of course we had to have news and photo's of the latest addition to Salim, the chef's, family.  Later of course the locals start to arrive for the champions league footy!

Sorry for the late blog this week but there seems to be some problem with the marina's WiFi and I've had to dig out the dongle again this morning to do it but hey ho that's life.
