THE ROAD TO GLISTERI





The weather is still great, so I dropped Bas at the studio and commenced the downhill drive to Glisteri. As you can see from the photo above it was not a smooth ride. The bob cat was broken; the bob cat driver convinced a car (two in front of me) to drive past on his left; that car got stuck; the young Greek woman in the car in front of me (blue one in photo) catapulted out of her car and gave the bob cat driver what for; he froze in some sort of paralysis at her words and didn't move; she then headed back up the hill behind me, found the road gang, gave them what for but rather than paralyse them, she galvanised them towards the bob cat and they attempted to start it via its rear motor. After about 10 attempts it chugged into life, was moved to the side of the road and everyone rejoiced and were friends again!

The hill view photo shows the beach at the bottom of the hill. The photo with my toes in it shows that it was worth the drive. I headed back up to the studio to collect Bas for the afternoon beach shift and as you can see he is beginning to look more Greek. We had lunch at the beach side taverna, and read and swam for a couple of hours. We're back at the studio now and I'm about to trust my hair to a Russian hairdresser who now has the salon I visited last time.
