Morning Glory

Morning glory below Giorgio and Maria's taverna in Chorio.

A windy Sunday blew all the haze away and the sky over Symi is once again Greek blue.  A pleasantly cool breeze is riffling the water in the harbour and the temperature is about 28 degrees in the sun.  The Panagia Skiadeni has docked and one of the Dodecanese Seaways catamarans is just coming in.  Now that the water taxis have started to operate the usual summer pattern is established of those visitors staying on the island departing on the taxi boats to the beaches as the day trippers arrive from Rhodes, with a brief lull in between.  Yesterday was too windy for beaches and boats and everyone is making up for it today.  Virtually all the summer tourist businesses are now open for the season.  The horse and cart clip clop past below my window countless times a day and the little train departs regularly from the town square in Yialos to show people the scenic route to Nimborio.

Have a good week.

Regards,

Adriana

Views mean steps and Symi has lots of these.
