So, I’ve spent the afternoon/early evening by the pool. I even had a swim!
Lots of music played, I was in my element. Mainly the playlist I created for Crete thus spring, but also Bowie’s Diamond Dogs.

Change of plan.
I was told at FaceBook that Olive Thea had closed for the season.
But no! It’s their last night tonight, so I’m going there. 7:30 pick up.
Hopefully enough light for a couple of pics.

Very limited menu, and too dark for decent photos of the view.
Gutted that goat is on the menu, but none left.
But boy, this place is a bit special.

Despite having breakfast included at the hotel, I went Agustera this morning for a fry up - absolutely smashing.

Glad to read that you are getting out and about, even changing your plans on a whim. 😆 So how does going solo compare?

Very pleasant indeed. I suspect I'd start to miss not being with others if I'd come for two weeks, but as it stands I'm thoroughly enjoying the freedom.
Last night's change from Asprolithos to Olive Thea was very last minutes (actually last hour or so). Asprolithos or Avlios tonight, but an early set off, as I want to back at Agustera as it's their last night.

Great news for Dennis, this is not, repeat NOT in any way bangy-thumpy.
Everyone, please, put your best earphones on and chill out to Part 2.

Correct, not bangy-thumpy. But howly-whiny. You were right, we do not share our tastes of music! PS Shostakovich did a nice piano concerto. PPS How do you cope with the idea of music copyright which has put the blankers on my soundtracks.

Bonus points for a bit of King Crimson, not my favourite prog band but still better than a lot of the guff out there. Hope you have a good final night party with Dino, he did look like he was ready for the end of the season when I briefly bumped into him at Agustera last month.

I really enjoyed that! Re solo travelling, I agree with the idea of doing what you want, when you want. The only bit I don't like is eating on my own. The first year I did that I went into Lynhari, in town. I noticed a lady about the same age sitting on her own. Summing up all my courage, I approached her and said, "You seem to be on your own as well. Do you mind if I join you?". She replied " I'd rather you didn't". I've never tried that again! 😳😄 Bob
