Wednesday 26th August

Sarah made an early start to today by deciding to climb up the hill behind
where we are moored to visit the monastery at the top. Chris and Clare from
Vonasi had recommended the walk as the views are stunning. They all talked
of a track that ran pretty much straight up from behind us, so Sarah
scrambled around looking for this in vain and ended up crawling up the
escarpment on all fours in places. When she finally emerged at the top the
monastery was of course shut to vistors which did not bother her too much as
it was all quite modern and tacky. The views were good however and she did
take photos. The return trip was done by way of the nice tarmac road, but as
it snakes for miles, it was some time before she made it back to Serafina.

We seem to have resolved to move on tomorrow so we needed to do some food
shopping etc. as we may be in bays for the next week. Sarah also felt the
urge to clean the inside of Serafina (towns are just so dusty....) so out
came the hoover again.

Sarah also decided to cheer up the small Greek children on the boat next
door by buying all three of them some bubbles to blow.

No idea really where all the time went, but at 6.30 pm Chris and Clare
(Vonasi) as well as David and Jill (Souris Rose) came on board for a drink
and information exchange (accompanied throughout by bubbles floating
downwind from next door). They all left around 8.00 pm and we had a quiet
night in.
