We landed at Argostolli airport, just after 11.00hrs (local time), on Thursday and were at the Aridas apartments, within an hour, picking up the hire car less than two hours later! Things went like clockwork and we, Leon, Pauline & I, were then free to spend the remainder of the day taking it very easy. Temperatures are in the mid-thirties Celsius during the middle part of the day and only drop to the mid-twenties after midnight. This has caused me a few issues with sleep and appetite although, thankfully, this seems to be abating now as I acclimatise to these wonderful surroundings.
My wildlife encounters have been very hit and miss, thus far into the holiday, although I have started to accrue a few decent images on the EOS 90d memory card. Sadly I will not be able to share them until returning to Blighty, at the start of October. It is Pauline & Leon’s 28th wedding anniversary today so, in time honoured fashion, it was a taxi ride up to the castle where we enjoyed a fabulous meal in The Olive Lounge, as we have done on many previous occasions. I have to admit that I’m struggling with some things we have done, purely because my memories of time out here with Bev are so very vivid, yet Leon and Pauline are there when I need them and help me through the moments.
Not, overly, sure that my blogging will be that regular, yet I will try to keep you in the picture so that you’ll have some idea what to expect when I get back home to the familiar technology of my trusty laptop.
