D13 Bike ride, fishing, restaurant

Katka and I went for a bike ride to the villages of Agios Petros and Nikoli. We climbed 450m and rode 20km. We had a nice glass of fresh orange juice and coffee in Ag Petros after pushing our bikes up a steep concrete path that was a shortcut. The old men in the cafĂ© there were enjoying their conversations and inspection of the fruit and veg in the truck that stopped by. 







We then climbed up to Nicoli, stopping to collect some wild sage and Katka spotted almonds growing which bashed open with a rock for us to try. 




Meanwhile Maros and Oliver went to the spot they had picked out for fishing. They didn't have much success this time though.

We had a nice lunch of gyros at the camp and then dreamt and relaxed in the heat of the afternoon.

Then the wind picked up and we went to the beach. Oliver and Maros went windsurfing. Katka went to say goodbye to Barbara - the last of the CS group. Then we watched the sun drop behind the mountain ridge and we returned to camp to get ready for an evening out in the bright lights of Vasiliki. 



We had a leisurely supper at Miramara and enjoyed being among relaxed people enjoying their holiday, children playing, cats wandering around, a gypsy playing the hurdygurdy, a smart dog with its smart owner, fishermen catching fish off the harbour, cyclists, mopeds, motorbikes, scooters. Katka pointed out the owner that she had spotted already in 3 different places. 





Katka and Oliver went late night shopping while Maros and I went back to the camp. Another great day of our holiday!
