The summer
drought finally broke in the early hours of Monday morning and 6 millimetres of
rain fell before 7 a.m. There have been intermittent showers all morning down
in Yialos and the weather is not expected to clear before Friday. Thunder is growling round about and the
harbour cafes are full of forlorn day trippers from Rhodes. The only boat that came in today was the
Proteus. It may be wet but it certainly
isn’t cold. The temperature is still 25
degrees centigrade. There was a big
wedding in Chorio on Saturday and two Christenings on Sunday , all of which
took place in perfect weather and the rain only came long after the last
revellers were safely home again on Sunday night.
This will
be my last blog for a while as I am off to England for a couple of weeks and in
the absence of a full November ferry schedule I don’t know how long I will be
in Rhodes before I return to Symi. At the moment Dodecanese Seaways is only showing up to 11 November to cover the Panormitis Festival and the ANES website is not showing anything after Wednesday 31 October 2012.
See you in
November!
Regards,
Adriana
