Tomorrow we set off on our homeward journey. The weather has been a disappointment but it’s the one thing you just can’t control. On the other hand we have walked the hills above Skala and roamed the beach. The variety of flowers has been a wonder as have the wild flower meadows surrounding farms and houses. The fresh grilled sardines, Greek salads, salted anchovies, grilled lamb and best of all the local black olives were all inspirational.

Apologies for the lack of pics we have bandwidth constraints.

The ecosystem appears to be in good heart. Nature is co-existing with human activity. Swallows are everywhere. The olive groves are healthy and plentiful. Herbs like thyme, oregano and sage fill the roadside up in the hills
