Can you guess the bill?

No!

BUT ... definitely my type of food (except the dessert, although more acceptable than a gateau or similar .)

 

[Robert Clark]

68 of whatever the Greek currency is, not including a tip. You still haven’t said if you are in one van or two #justputtingitoutthere

Two vans
BIL has a Burst (snapped off the Ner on a tree)

 

[Robert Clark]

And the winner is

€42 and a hangover from the awful Greek wine.

Thursday - escaping wind !

After a tormultuous night by the sea we decided to head to somewhere calmer.
We headed south and have arrived at Ancient Olimpa where we are staying at CC70975.

We had lunch en-van, which comprised of grilled Haloumi, roasted veggies and Feta, drizzled in extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

After a well earned siesta we walked into town. Sis and BIL went to see the ancient Olympic site, whilst Mrs C and I sat in the sun and enjoyed an ice cream and Fredo Cappuccino whilst looking after their little doggie

Yet another site, that's it Robert you have lost your FLT status.

 

[Kelso]

Have a great time. But get used to the fact that they don't like to take plastic in a lot of places, so keep some cash on you.

I think it looks yummy and love the huge slab of feta cheese on your salad or is it haloumi?
Hope the weather s stays safe.

I came through Belgium Lux Germany Austria Italy , took boat from venice to Igomenitsa ! No tolls far less diesel great roads , little traffic .
Drove down the coast from Igomenitsa right down the peleponisos , paid tolls in greece but the roads are empty , my Greek mate said it,s because the people can, t afford the fuel ! In a small mini market I paid for some beers and a pack of water with a 50euro note and the girl said we dont see many 50s round here these days .

 

[tony dellar]

I,m on Naxos in the kyclades at present funny weather for time of year huge storms , much needed rain , I hope I can get off on the 2nd more storms promised .
Yesterday I drove 25klm through mountains IN the clouds could only see 20 yards slow going hairpin bends etc good fun reminded me of driving british motorways in autumn !

Been living here 27 years I can,t remember this much cloud rain. And wind at this time of year usually the odd thunderstorm but then clear again ! But I,m not complaining it hardly rained at all last winter the islands are parched so its good news apart from boat cancellations .

Saturday / Sunday

When we woke yesterday morning the strong winds had passed and the sea was calm.

We took another walk along the promenade again and saw three turtles in the distance.

We decided to continue our journey north and have come to Parga and are staying at CC48060.

The town has a Venetian castle

When we were there 3 years ago in September Greece had their worst storm for a hundred years. A lot of the coastal roads the edges of them were washed away.

 

[DavidG58]

Glad you like them.
I use an IPhone 7

That’s why there are no photos of the distant turtles

Apart from that Robert, love the photos and the updates

 

[ianthebuilder]

Wow,,, stunning pics,,,, I use an iPhone, but Christ knows how you get pics that good!!

Lovely trip,,, enjoy,,,x

Sunday Lunch

View from our table

We had two fishy platters

Grilled calamari
Swordfish
Sea bream
Shrimps

We’ve paired the food with local Rose Wine, served in a jug and a bottle of posh water

Can you guess the bill?

The problem with the distant turtles David is they pop just their tiny little heads above the water for about 2 seconds.

 

[PhilandMena]

48 Euros.
