That's the one Andy....Liz Enjoyed!
Well already Saturday and a lie in that was not planned....funny how we can't sleep at home but after sea air, sunshine, beer, wine and nice food you can easily sleep longer than intended.
Woke up to clouds??? Never ordered this! But as we left the apartments for the day it was warming up with hazy sunshine soon to be full heat!
Sevasti gave us a great greeting this morning with some fresh eggs as we asked for more water which would all be left in our room later. They are a wonderful and friendly family and would recommend this place to anyone....you do need to like walking and hills though! We are from Sheffield though so we understand hills!
Right as we had no plans we went off upwards towards the castle through the lanes getting lost all the time! Love the idea of being lost!
Back down we went to get a breakfast at the Olive Tree...Breakfast Meze for 2 with ham, cheese, egg, olives, tomato, fruit, bread and the lovely lemon curd...and coffee!
Off we went back up the hill to find the old path (steps) down to the port....someone will tell you the name no doubt! Loads of lizards and tired people walking up as we took care walking down in our sandles. I did have to stop as I got a thistle on one of my toes which did hurt....soon sorted!
Another wander around the port which didn't seem as busy as past days before...we got bread for the bakery before sitting on the front for an orange juice at a little place we once again didn't get the name....I am on holiday so please bear with me!
It wasn't difficult to choose a place for lunch...To Spitiko which is already our favourite place for food backed up by most people we have met so far!
Liz had the Sea Bream and I had the Lamb Chops after a Greek salad and beers etc.. this was great food in a great place!
We left as the day trippers were heading back to the Symi boat and as soon as we passed the boat it was so peaceful as we decided to follow the more gentle way back to Chorio up the road to check out the views on the way back. Before we knew it we were back up near the windmills and down the little hill and back to......I suppose you will all guess by now....the Rainbow!
Liz had wondered where I had disappeared to yesterday but she found out today as we sat for a few afternoon beers in good company..Jo, Neil, James and a few other regulars....sorry did not get there names. First time I'd met Neil but he may have me sussed as his parting shot was..."i'll see you tomorrow"
Now it would have been nice to talk about another great meal but we can't just keep eating great big meals so another evening was had on the balcony with a little bread, cheese and eggs!
PS...I am missing a beer festival in Northwich today with 20+ friends and should be so jealous but Symi has softened the heartache!
Now what do we do tomorrow?
Steve and Liz
