An even rarer Odyssey event, two lazy days in succession! We did do slightly more than yesterday as, before the real heat of the day hit, we walked into the local village. This was very easy, walking along the beach until we came across a minor road that took us all along the seafront. There were plenty of attractive tavernas and bars and, on a fortnight's holiday it would be fun to investigate them all. We then walked slightly inland and found the 'main street', although that only consisted of two shops. Still, the supermarket was well stocked and reasonably priced and I returned later with empty beer bottles and replaced them with full ones. It is good to see that Greece still has deposits on bottles, surely better than glass recycling, which is of dubious merit.
Apart from a spell writing this blog, I spent the rest of the day reading 'Christ Recrucified'. It really is quite gripping and I found it very difficult to put down, so I didn't!
We have a 14:00 ferry to catch from Volos tomorrow, so we checked bus times with the very helpful lady in Reception and established where we needed to put the van whilst we are away.
The meal tonight was the rest of the Pastitsatha but this time with the pasta. As with almost all stews (and curries), it is better on the second day as the flavours have melded even more.
