There is not a cloud in the sky
It is a typical summer's day on Symi. Temperatures are in the high thirties and there is not a cloud in the sky. It is very quiet outside. The kind of quiet that descends upon the island when the day trippers are enjoying lunch and everyone else with any sense is at the beach. The gang plank of the Symi is creaking gently against the quay in the afternoon breeze and the 'Omega' is pulling out from her berth by the clock tower. I wonder what will replace her. It is the mega-yacht season and every evening we are treated to a display of the exotic and expensive in both Yialos and Pedi as the rich and famous pass through. So far only one helicopter this year, though... Rumour has it that Madonna was seen jogging round the harbour in the company of 6 body guards last week. I should imagine that by the time the rumour has done the circuit one more time she will have been spotted in one or all of the island's clubs and dancing venues and may even be in the market for a house...
Someone has just tossed some bread into the water over by the Nireus and the gulls are swooping for it. Most of the little hire boats are out for the day.
The side doors of the Symi ferry are open to let the air through and one of the crew is taking advantage of the peace to catch a bit of a nap. See if you can spot him in the photograph!
Regards,
Adriana.
