Day 43: The beach, reached

When Flora heard about our thwarted walk to Varvarousa, the next beach along from Delphini, she suggested that we all go there for a picnic. So this morning we headed out with Flora, Egle, Flora's neighbour's daughter Maria and a combination of Flora's and Maria's dogs.

This time we took a path that started in the Delphini car park and took us straight up and then along the hillside – much higher up than the path we had taken previously – and after a quarter of an hour or so we were standing on the ridge looking down on Varvarousa. The track down was steep and a bit slippery, but we made it down pretty much without incident. 






There's an old hut on the beach that was used by fishermen for the odd overnight stay, and we sat here to have our lunch, then we spent some time skimming stones into the ocean before heading for home.






At Flora's request, we've started to photograph all of the cats that come to the house to be fed and use them to create a cat-alogue. Some of the cats are newcomers, so this evening we sat around coming up with and then endlessly debating names for them. When the document is finished, I'll upload it so the cat lovers among you can flick through it and gaze at the glory of our feline menagerie.
