Video 2 link now fixed.
Admiral B's was closed when I went last night. Phedrock still open.
I'm a bit tired today, so feeling quite subdued. Went into town on the bus, but made a last minutes decision to get off at 10 Achladies to see if the water taxi was still running.
It wasn't, and not only that, they'd pulled all the planks up off the jetty. Not a missed stop though, as I popped into Paradise for a swift one.
Next bus into town, just had a wander. Popped into the Papadiamantis House Museum, which is extremely small, but very cheap.
Bus back.
Not sure what to do tonight. Stamelos has been quieter than Agustera, so I'm not sure if that'll be still going, or worth going to, and I'm not sure if Big Bad Wolf will be open. Last I heard they were playing it night-by-night.
Probably Under the Pine Tree tomorrow (last night). Options are disappearing fast.
Might stay in the hotel, and eat from the à la carte menu.
I've enjoyed the solitude/freedom, and also the quiet atmosphere, but the combination of those two together, plus Agustera closing, and finally with me being a bit tired, has really shifted everything into first gear today.

I presume they're leaving the Kinks piecee alone as it's 54 years old. From reading the guff about it, I think what happens is YouTube have software which recognises stuff and informs the relevant person/s who control the copyright - singer, record company, song writer, etc. That person is then able to decide to stop it (which was the case with the bangy-thumpies in number 2).

Best bet at the moment is to set up a free account here at Flickr Then use the little cloud icon to uploade photos from wherever they are stored.
Once they are stored, open a photo and there is a 'share' option in the list of icons bottom right, the share icon is second from left (a sort of 3-d curved arrow).
That will open up a box giving share options, one of which is 'bbc code'. Just copy that code and paste it into your post and the full photo will appear in the post. it’s frustrating not to be able to post photos here.

Well, I’m off into town.
I think it might be relatively ‘busy’, as the 8:00 bus is, and everywhere we’ve passed is closed and we’re taking on customers at every stop.

I think the Old Port House has shut for the season but you may have luck elsewhere.

I was wrong again. Dead. Pics to follow.
Time ran away from me a little; it’s ten to eleven and there’s only one more bus!
Good job I got here when I did. Hope the last bus doesn’t knock.
Lovely night, though.

Phew. The last bus turned up. On it now.
Chances of an early night scuppered!
But then again, I took my watch off at the start of the holiday with deliberate intent.

Glad you had a lovely night in town. Was worried ( in a motherly way 😅) when you said earlier you felt tired & subdued. Hope you got the bus ok. I sooo remember that climb up the drive to the Palace! There used to be about 6 of us or so got off the late bus, we used to “compete” for who could make it in one 😂 I never won, but I always blamed it on the wine 😂

This morning I’ve been to Kastros (spectacular), the monastery (quite lovely), and am now sat in Platanos (wonderful views).
Waiting for lunch to be served. I’m making the most of this!

Enjoy your last full day, might as well make a bit of a night of it as it will probably be a bit of a dead day tomorrow leading up to your airport transfers (not actually sure when the Tui goes tomorrow?).

Picking up from the hotel at 11:00am. Or 11:30, one or the other.
So just enough time to get up, have breakfast, and pack.
Posting from a deserted Mandraki Beach.

Good excuse to see what's still open in town then, they might be selling off cheap drinks at end of season parties ;-)

On my way into town.
It really does feel like ‘last chopper out of Saigon’ time.
It’s dusk, so lights are on if there’s anyone in, and we’re just passing building after building, hotel after taverna, bar after shop, on complete shut down. No lights. Nothing.

Phedrock, only me there (well, it was before 8:00pm).
Taverna Mesogia...every table full!

Locals use Mesogia too so it's usually got a decent turnout. Have a good last night. Worth calling at Blind Dog if still open, if anyone's around they will usually go there at some point.
