July 17, 2008
Wake up at 6:45 with the A/C set at 19 degrees and sapping all our moisture. The sun is rising with the sky turning from pink to blue over the sea. I turn it off and we manage another hours sleep.When we venture out to get some breakfast it must already be 30 out by 8:00. We but some ham, cheese, pitta's, watermelon and sour cherry juice to take back and have on the balcony. It soon becomes apparent that this is going to be a day long sun trap as we settle down to eat and I carry on re-reading JG Ballard's Crash accompanied by a choir of cicadas and the occasional goat bleating on the mountain behind us.
We decide to spend the morning reading by the pool.
After a wander we lunch at Kavos Taverna overlooking the bay and realise that this will become a popular haunt during our stay. Annoyingly, dependent on what roaming provider my phone is picking up I'm going to have a lot of trouble sending gloating MMS messages back home. I have my first Greek salad and Mythos while Sam has a Rusk salad. Not unlike the Greek salad but with bits of rusk to soak up the olive oil and balsamic.
Back at the pool we continue to read until we feel the need to venture out again for more food. There is a lot of choice for places to eat but I choose Spitaki because I had been there about 10 years previously and remember it being very pretty. Again the obligatory Ouzo.
Hamouli Cheese
Symi shrimps, capers and tomatoes
Goat Stew
Sea bream
A carafe of local red wine
Then a slow walk up the hill to bed.
