We had been planning to
move on today, but the camping ground was very good and we had enjoyed the
previous two days lazing on beaches so much that we decided to stay another
day.
Checking my email In the
free wi-fi area next to the bar, there was the welcome news from Adam that he
had reserved a replacement satnav that he would collect Wednesday evening and
drop off with DHL on Thursday. I made some progress publishing more blog over
the course of an hour, but there is a lot more to load before I’m up to date.
Still, most days are written up and the photographs have been selected, it just
needs time and good wi-fi to catch up.
At 10:00 we set off on
for the beach, it was already hot and we were looking forward to the shade of
an umbrollini and the cooling sea breeze. We chose the same area of beach as
Sunday. The beach was a lot less busy, but being an hour later, the water’s
edge places were taken and we had to settle for one row back. Not a great
problem!
The day was spent
lounging on our lettini and reading with an occasional dip in the sea to cool
off. I Finished ‘Dead Simple’ by Peter James, the first in a series of Roy Grace detective novels and downloaded his second to my Kindle. Before starting that
though Jane recommended I read ‘The Vegas Knockout’ by Tom Shreck which she had
really enjoyed. The book was poorly written, but I had to agree with her the description, habits and antics of
the main character’s Bassett hound reminded us very much of Ella’s family’s
Gavin.
The beach sellers were as
busy as ever plying their wares. Everything needed for the beach, as well as
some unnecessary stuff was on offer. Coconut and pineapple to eat, sunglasses,
jewellery, clothes, blankets, beach toys, portable radios, kites, and more.
There were even Asian women offering massages. I had to wonder what sort of a
living the sellers could possibly make. On Sunday I saw a woman buying clothes,
today a man was having a massage and a few people bought a small piece of coconut
at €1 a pop, but that was it.

Jewellery - These Guys Were Particularly Persistent
We plodded back to Mabel
at 16:30 where I sorted photos for the blog and Jane did some more planning for
the Greek leg of the trip.

Dinner was a very tasty
pasta dish with a fresh tomato, anchovy and olive sauce that Jane cooked.
