Crossing the Patras Suspension Bridge on our return
to Messolonghi.Weather has improved quite a bit in this area and we arrived back
to sunshine at last.Now its back to getting down to some more jobs on the
boat!
 'Wild One' had arrived into the marina since our
departure and it was good to meet up and catch up with them since we last saw
them.
Mark spent the next day trying to find a place to
buy a tool that he can use to take the element out of our waterheater as it
keeps shorting and we obviously have a leak from somewhere.
5th November.
Weather was warm enough to take a picnic
and go for a swim off the point.The sea temperature was not too bad quite
bracing but very envigorating, met a couple of Germans from the marina who were
also taking advantage of the weather.
Saturday , market day, how the week goes!! A
group of us met up after the market at Kostas coffee house and then we headed
back to the marina to start cleaning the stainless steel!!
Matt and Annie wanted to know where they could swim
so the next day as the sun was shining we decided to take another day off and
show them The Point.We all went off on our bikes for the 20 minute cycle and
then Annie and I were the only ones brave enough to have a
swim!
After a fruit picnic we decided to visit the local
Taverna for an Oozo before we returned to the marina, lovely watching the sun go
down!!
8th- 12th November
Resumed my early morning walk with Jean the
American lady,lovely time of day to go for a quick walk as everywhere seems so
tranquil.Jean suggested that we might be interested in joining the Photographic
Group which was being held at 5pm so I said we would come along for a
taster.
As it was Matts Birthday we were invited to join
them for a meal at the 'Tablecloth' restaurant. Either our stomachs are
getting smaller or they serve huge portions at this restaurant as no one could
finish their meal and we all ended up having our left overs put in a 'Doggie
bag'to take home with us.Whilst we were at the restautant we had an excited call
from Trinity who was in the process of buying her air ticket on line to Canada
and wanted to let us know as she was pressing the confirm button!! We were
elated for her as she seemed to have got a good deal from British
Airways.
We invited our neighbours Angie and Keith
over for a drink as they have been really helpful,it turns ot that
Keith was a fireman stationed at Reading and was one of
the first on the scene at the fire at Windsor, small worl which seems to be
getting smaller.
