We watched the cruise boats setting out in the morning. The van was perfectly sited to give us a view, and to take full advantage of the onshore breezes. Most comfortable!
A bit later we wandered into town, and back to the Lola restaurant, where we had cheese omelette — Halis was having a day off, so Ismay (who never takes a day off) had put sliced tomato on the side and, with a twinkle in his eye, made a point of the cucumbers which had been cunningly sliced to create heart shapes. We sampled küneffe, a sweet dish with fine shredded wheat pasta around a sweet cheese, with walnuts and honey — could have come back for more!
We strolled around the shops — tourist-oriented, but with really good quality — just enjoying the sights. We were particularly taken by a young brother and sister walking around, hand-in-hand, under the gentle control of their proud father.
We managed to find a post office, and sent off a few rather belated postcards (from Croatia and even before!
Went back to the van, continued with our catch-up, before watching a couple of shows and going to bed.
Distance driven — today, nil; to date, 21,164 miles ( 34,061 km )
Just watched The Tourist (Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie)-set in and around Venice. Bloody clever plot where the clues are actually provided for you along the way, but that I didn't catch on to until the very end. if you haven't seen it watch it for the plot alone. Loved the little Muffins (M is for Muffin) wandering along. The stalls sure look a mishmash of things. What a very nice spot to stay and enjoy thee view, the breezes and the locals. Liked the cat too. Oh well, now I am almost up to June. Will do more feedback for you tomorrow. LL CJ
