Whizzing down the Vigla
It is a breezy day with high shreds of cloud and an inky blue sea. The island is perceptibly busier since the first package holiday arrivals on Wednesday. Lots of hikers and even some cycling enthusiasts have been spotted whizzing down the Vigla.
The Symi is docking – over by the clock tower – just to keep us all confused. There is a mad scramble of taxis and trucks haring round to the other side of the harbour…
The traditional Koukkomas dance which was rained off on 1 May is now scheduled to take place at Agios Thanasis on Sunday evening at 7.00 p.m. We hope that they have better luck this time. The Symi Women’s Association is to be commended for keeping these old traditions alive. Speaking of the Symiot dancing, panning around on Greek television last night while dinner was cooking I was just in time to catch our mayor, Lefteris Papakalodoukas, putting on an impressive display at the Pedi Beach Hotel during the party season.
More rain is forecast to reach Symi sometime on Tuesday. The spring flowers have already perked up from the May Day showers as the accompanying photograph of some wild hollyhocks on the road in Lieni cheerfully demonstrates.
Have a good weekend.
Regards,
Adriana
