Met a nice American woman called Jean who is trying to organise an early morning walk each weekday.I have decided to join her as I reallly would like to keep fit plus I will be able to enjoy the early sunsets and it will also be useful for networking!
The walk takes us along this interesting causeway and is really quite short about 1hour in total and not hard as the terrain is quite flat.
 
       
 
 
6th October
Winds predicted for Friday so will move Rafiki to a spot in the inner harbour where we will have more protection.Have now really started cleaning her and she is begining to look quite good again.Rick and Barbara want to go to Patra to pick up a hire car so we have decided to take the trip with them on Friday as long as we have made Rafiki secure.
 
8th October
 
Got up early for our bus ride to Patra which takes about 1 hour.
 
Mark at the 'bus station' which doubles as a roadside cafe.
We were quite entertained by the local taxi service which waits close by,the office is a bespoke telephone that the tax drivers que up in line to answer the ringing telephone and then drive off in response to the call!!
