After breakfast we walked along the shore and into Vasiliki. There were the fishing boats in the harbour and round the harbour wall are cafes and restaurants. We went to Katka's favourite bakery and bought good bread baked on the premises and two different pastries. Everything was tasty and good and by 11 nearly all sold out. We took our purchases to a nearby cafe and had a coffee and ate our pastries. On the next table were the proverbial older Greek men who sat and drank their coffees and continued the great Greek tradition of debate together. As we sat there the
group grew and when we walked back it was already a mini conference.
We watched a boat conversion whereby one man with a chainsaw created an airier cabin on a fishing boat by sawing off the back of the cabin. The man with the saw was perhaps the same guy who set up a water tap next to an electrical box on the camp.
Just walking round the port was great fun. It is lively enough to be enjoyable and with plenty to see and do, but not overcrowded or noisy.
When we got back it was very hot. Katka wanted to start cooking but luckily was persuaded to wait. Maros went to check the waves and surfing conditions and Katka and I cycled up to a viewpoint over the bay to look at all the windsurfers.
In the evening we went to look at the yachts in the harbour. Now we are enjoying camp life in the evening. The children are in bed, the cicadas are not as insistent.
All is well.
