Saturday 26th May Kioni
Started off a bit cloudy but then sun came and out it was a beautiful sunny day and hot.
Had a bit of a shock around lunchtime when a Greek ferry decided it wanted to berth in our spot and we had to quickly move to another part of the quay so all the day trippers could be unloaded. Yesterday the ferries berthed the other side, it appears the sign telling us it was a ferry berth both sides had been removed but all the locals had said it was ok for us to berth up. Oh well no harm done and when the ferries stopped at 16:00 we moved back.
I had to go and fill the petrol can up today ready for the trip down south of the island. The Greeks are very friendly and helpful and will stop to give a lift so I set off in great hope for the petrol station about 6 miles away. Great having friendly people, only problem is if there is no-one around then it’s shanks pony. I ended up catching a lift about a third of the way there on a scooter and about half way back in a car but still had a long hike with the can. Still the views out along the coast were spectacular.
The couple next to us last night, Richard and Sally-Ann were very helpful with advice on decent weather sites this morning before they left and fetched them up on their internet connection. Looks like favourable winds for the next few days, so we will head south tomorrow. It may mean a few nights under canvas as I don’t think there are any facilities now until we reach Kephalonia unless we have to divert for some reason.
The only down side with the harbour is the number of stray cats, they are everywhere and one has sprayed on the side of the tent. If the culprit is identified then it will be able to tell the rest how warm the water is!
