Two busy days

The wind has died down and the weather is lovely

On Tuesday the two Annas went off on their sailing trip to nearby Paros. They seem to have enjoyed it. Denis relaxed around the pool. I started to think of home as we now only have a few more days. I felt a list was necessary so bought a notebook as I like to see it all laid out before me. I checked a few things on next week’s diary and generally started to think about what needed doing once we were back.

In the evening we went to a piano concert, part of the Domus Festival.

We were given a flyer for the July events which just made me a bit sad as we will be gone by then.

Yesterday was equally busy. We all caught the 09.30 bus towards Apeiranthos. Denis and I got off first, at Sangri, to visit the Bazeos Tower

Every year there is an art exhibition of some sort there.

Some of last year’s pieces were still in place

But it focused on a new collection entitled “The thread that brings us together” and was mostly fabric and natural materials used to make art installations and make the most of the space in the Tower

While we were doing the cultural stuff the Annas hiked up Mount Zas, the highest point of the Cyclades. We all met in our usual place in Filoti for lunch. Of course we had bouyourdi – it was quickly gone!

In the evening we all went to a cheese tasting. It was excellent, with a good range of Naxian cheese, various accompaniments and a glass of wine.

After all that we went for a stroll, the Annas had some ice cream and we walked home along the beach. A lovely end to a busy couple of days- we plan to be more relaxed the next few days before heading home
