Dinner was beef in Metaxa with mushrooms at George and Marias’s, 2 tender fillets of beef with mushrooms accompanied by chips and rice – it was delicious. Tonight I only ordered one course as I know the portions are large and I was full by the time I’d finished. The bill, including a quarter carafe of white wine was 13 euros.
After dinner I popped into the Sunrise to say goodbye to Colette, who is going home tomorrow. It was nice to catch up with some familiar faces and enjoy a couple of glasses of wine.
26/9/18
Woke to a sunny day with a strong breeze which was very welcome – as long as you’re not travelling on a ferry. Attempted to make an omelette for breakfast with Sam’s eggs – though I didn’t have any cooking oil and there was no fish slice so it came out more like scrambled egg, but was very tasty with lovely yellow yolks.
Today I decided to have a beach day before the weather changes and walked down to Pedi and through the gate where I took the path to St Nicholas beach. 15 minutes later I was walking down the steps to the beach, just as the first taxi boat arrived. After paying 3 euros for the sunbed, I settled down at the far end of the beach relaxing with my book. When the second ferry boat arrived the swell from the boat caused a wave that went right under my sunbed taking my sandals with it – luckily my bag was on the table! After retrieving my sandals I decided it was safer to move to another sunbed under the shade of the tree. I had lunch in the taverna where I ordered the tuna salad with lettuce (8 euros) rather than the tuna dip. The bill including water and bread was 10 euros. The salad wasn’t the best I’ve had and the bread was very hard so I might bring my own lunch if I come back.
