After a relaxing morning, we walked the short
distance to the harbour front and had lunch at one of Norman &
Deborah's favourite cafés. We had frappé
(cold coffee) and both the special omelette and special crepe were
huge and very tasty. As we walked to the ferry port we saw the
Express Skiathos approaching the harbour and soon it was reversing to
the dock. Jim and Ellen had come to see us off and there were lots of
hugs and kisses before we boarded and waved frantically as the ferry
departed. It was touching to see Jim waving his white handkerchief
and using it to dab his eyes, although I suspect there was a little
irony in his actions!
We walked to the bus station but had just missed
the 19:00 bus so, faced with an hour and a half wait for the next
one, we retraced our steps a short distance to find a small
restaurant in a very traditional Volos eating area.
I chose the Greek equivalent of whitebait and Jane
had a Greek salad which turned out to be huge and really interesting
with lots of capers and caper plant. We shared the dishes and were
totally full at the end of it.
The bus was very modern and very impressive, with
on-board wifi, something that I haven't seen on buses (rather than
coaches) in any other country. We arrived back at the campsite to
find Henrietta in good shape and the spare wheel still fully
inflated!
