Glitzy Yachts
Another hot still summer’s day on Symi. Walking down to work at half past seven this morning, every patch of shade seemed to shelter someone sipping a frappe and watching the rising heat shimmering off the streets and lanes. On the Kali Strata a man was whitewashing the steps, working his way down on his knees with a pail and floppy brush. Down in the harbour the street sweepers were hosing down the quayside with seawater, using a fat pink hose and a submersible pump.
In addition to ANES’ increased island-hopping options and the Dodecanese Seaways connections, the Tilos Sea Star has also become a regular feature of Yialos this year.
The police car has just gone past, siren wailing, accompanying a lorry load of economic migrants to the police station. This is the third such group to arrive on Symi this week. I wonder what they think of the glitzy yachts and obvious wealth they see around them as they are transported round the harbour in the back of an open truck, day trippers parting to allow the convoy through.
Have a peaceful weekend.

Adriana
