We had a lazy start to the day. We have a tour booked for 5’ish.
We set out after 10am for a walk around our local village and down to the beach. We walked through the village and along in front of all the beach front restaurants. It’s very easy to see this place would be packed in peak season by the number of restaurants and beach sun chairs.
It’s Greece’s election day, all people intending to vote have gone or are on their way to the villages in which they are registered to vote, for most Greeks this is the village of their family.
Our alarm went off at 5am, thanks to packing last night we were in the hotel Lobby checking out at 5:30am.
Our driver took us to the Port and pointed out our ferry as we drove in. We were both expecting something small and fast looking. Instead we got a boat similar in size to the Sealink Ferry to Kangaroo Island.
We had the “ working day” to ourselves, our tour today starts at 5:30pm.
We set off a little after 9am and walked down to the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Continue reading
You know your in Athens when the view out the window from your breakfast table is the Parthenon sitting on top of The Acropolis.

I took Louis for a couple of walks around Veale Gardens, giving him a last sniff of familiar places before his holiday with Elise, Randal and Winter in Burnside. I dropped him off at 11am and waited a bit for him to calm, a bit! Elise had everything in control so I headed home to finish packing and helped do the last things you do before you leave your place for 8 weeks. It was strange leaving Louis, knowing he won’t be with us for such a long time. This is why Deb didn’t/doesn’t do the drop offs when we go away and leave him with Sitters.
We got an Uber to the airport and checked in. That’s when the person checking us in found that there was a slight issue with Deb’s passport. Continue reading

WHO’s International Health Regulations Emergency Committee discussed the pandemic on Thursday at its 15th meeting on Covid-19, and WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus concurred that the public health emergency of international concern, or PHEIC, declaration should end.”
So that truly is a wrap.
Our holiday blog resumes VERY SOON. Adventures to be had

Its over 3 years since I began following the Novel Corona Virus that was reported in the provincial city of Wuhan China, and the vagaries of Chinese Wet Markets was introduced to the world.
The reports of the new virus began in November 2019. All new infections of the virus were contained inside China until an infection was documented by The WHO in Thailand on 11 January 2020.

Number of Views :692The biggest change that has occurred this month is the seemingly conscious decision of Governments and the press not to “talk about” Covid-19. Seems they want everyone to move on and live life as usual/normal/pre-pandemic. All this as waves of Chinese descend on the Chinese mainland and spread country wide to celebrate the Chinese New Year, and possibly catch/spread Covid-19. Many of these same people will in turn return to countries all over the world with consequences no-one is talking about. Continue reading
