At last a beautiful day!

We got up to a beautiful blue sky, might as well enjoy it and take a hike! All the way to Kardamyli, it took approx one hour and twenty minutes to cover the 4 miles or 10 kilometres at a leisurely pace; no buses passed us. Kardamyli is a lovely village that has retained its charm and has a nice atmosphere, especially at this time of year after the tourists have all gone.

It turned out that the offices we were told about were the Mayors Offices. They were very helpful, phoning the police station to enquire about the forms that we need as non-Greek nationals to be able to buy a car. We now need to return on Monday morning after 9am with stacks of photocopies of passports and passport style photos. At least we had been warned and came pre-armed with many copies

We strolled around the village in no hurry to start the long walk back and checked out the local bakery for spinach pies. Delicious.

On our arrival back in Stoupa we decided to go and visit some friends who moved house yesterday. They called twice last night but said they were unable to get us to hear them despite shouting up at the windows. In the end they had pushed a map under our door.

What a busy life we lead!
