We have been having a nice relaxing break. Not doing much, just re-charging batteries. SATURDAY we wandered around town,had a gyros and beer for lunch on the main street and then went to Under the Pines in the evening. SUNDAY walked through the Pines to Elinas beach and spent the day there and then to BBW for the evening. MONDAY walked by the lake to Koukounaries Beach and on to Big Banana, stayed for a while deciding that the bean bags might not be a good idea for an older couple. Set off back to base before too many youngsters arrived, I am told a DJ starts up at 3. Today GOM cooked, he's a star (chicken souuvaki thing). Watched football in the bar, well he watched, I drank white wine and read Act III on my kindle. TUESDAY,bussed back to town to take some pictures and watch the planes land and take off, Milo's is definitely the safer spot to watch from. Wandered up to the bell tower and then Gyros again for a late lunch. Booked a meal for birthday on Friday just up from the Oldest Taverna (Selinas??) and also booked for moonlight cruise on Wednesday. Ate at Golden Beach and headed back just as the thunderstorm was starting. Spent the rest of the evening on the balcony sipping ouezo and watching thunderstorm. Today will be a chilled pool day and moonlight cruise.
Wherever we have eaten this week the food has been excellent.
Oh, btw I have managed to unlock my phone with a little help from one of our sons.

WEDNESDAY. Spent morning by pool after leisurely breakfast on our balcony and then on into Skiathos Town prior boat trip over Tsougrias. Mooched around a bit and discovered a old town house for sale that did not need total rebuilding. Sat and shared a carafe of wine at one of the harbour taverns, do not know which one, Orange cushions. Hopped on the boat to go across at 6 and were "entertained" by two young ladies doing there diy glamour shots on the way across.
What a lovely set-up, we selected a table front line near the bar and spent a enjoyable evening watching a magnificent sunset and full moon, and people watching. I did take some pictures which I have posted on FB page.
The prices there are a little higher, but we did not go mad.
Loos are are a little rustic and of the self flush variety.
We got back in time to get 23:30 bus back to Stop 23, first time the bus has been full.

THURSDAY. We decided to walk to Mandraki beach the long way today, lovely views but we think we will stick to the pine walk in future. Evening meal at Strophilia, very good. Met a couple there and we got chatting about walks, gave us a few ideas for the weekend. Ended the day with Ouezos on the balcony.
