A Wet and Windy Easter?
Happy St George's Day! Of course Greek George's will only be able to celebrate next week, on Bright Monday, as name days are put on hold for Big Week.
The internet has been more off than on this week and even when it is working seems to be crawling along at a snail's pace. I will keep this short so I can post it before the link goes again.
It looks as though we may well be having a wet and windy Easter and even snow is forecast for the high ground on the Greek mainland. After two days of strong sand winds and ferry disruptions things are much calmer today and the haze which obscured Nimos earlier this morning is lifting. Contact lense wearers have really been suffering from the dust in the air lately and, looking at the long range forecast, the next week or so looks no better.
Symi is much busier with lots of new arrivals and we are full at the Hotel Fiona. Last night Pedi Bay was full of bobbing mast head lights. There has been a lot of yachting activity this week as boats have struggled to find secure and comfortable berths in the strong easterly winds that have rolled into Yialos and Pedi.
More news the next time there is a stable connection!
Regards,
Adriana

Hi everyone, Easter looks like a wet one in Sydney too!The kids have been on school holidays for the past 2 weeks and it has been raining non-stop.angela
At the risk of sounding smug, it's bright blue skies and sunshine here at last! There is still a nip in the air though in the evenings but hopefully winter is getting edged out by Spring. The shrubs outside my door have started to sprout new growth so maybe they know that better weather is ahead.
