Day 9 Sunday 10th
June 2018
We had agreed on a stopover here
at Nisyros and as such we could enjoy a lie in. However 0700hrs came and we
were immediately awake. Body clock I suspect! The day started, at least at this
early hour slightly hazy above the mountains which formed the backdrop to our
harbour. This was soon to pass.
0900hrs Taverna Ellinia
was opened and the young waitress whom I am assured by both Tim and David was
called Aphrodite started dusting off and laying the tables. Whilst the others
sat on board and drank tea, Mike went walkabout.

1000hrs. Tim suggested we
walk over to Ellinas for breakfast. The very thing I had suggested to Jackie
only seconds before. Normally breakfast on board is a boiled egg, slice of
bread with a mug of T or coffee. This morning we had a veritable feast. Mike
opting for a bacon, cheese and ham omelette with Tim and Jackie ordering the
‘lighter’ continental breakfast. This came with cheese, ham, jams and three
slices of toast. Let us not forget the complimentary bowl of crisps, which none
of us touched I am pleased to say.
We sat there for nearly an hour, David
stayed on for another gin, or three. No sooner had we returned to the boat when
the laundry was brought over. E24.
Today was to be an easy day. Mike and Jackie took a stroll along part of the island towards the old spa hydro complex. I say old but in reality this huge complex was yet to be completed. It seems this is another grand scheme that has run out of cash.
