Pedi valley walk/path
Sunday afternoon worked out nicely; a lunch in Yialos, a taxi upwards afterwards, some time at the bar and then music on the balcony. I had every intention of going to the concert in the square but was asleep by the time it happened, not due to the lunch I hasten to add.
Monday saw some cloud and slightly cooler temperatures; you can tell we’re heading into September. If feels like we had the hot August weather in July this year and now August is cooling off, but it may be a temporary glitch. It can still feel a bit humid and sticky though. The only trouble with it cooling down is that the flies and mosquitoes will be out in force before long. But you can’t let them put you off.
I don’t have much to report today, except to say that my new book, Remotely, is my best seller for the month, closely followed by Symi 85600 – the link is over there on the right if you’ve not seen it. And also to mention something about the Pedi valley – thank you to my ears to the ground reporters out and about in the village. There might be some confusion over the path through the Pedi valley now being fenced off. Apparently it isn’t, the rout has changed slightly though and it’s obvious where the path now goes; around a piece of now private land. You can start either at the top of the valley, or the bottom, and walk right the way through, walking around any fencing, of course, and following the obvious and oft used foot path. It’s a lovely rural walk that takes you behind the football stadium, through the groves, along the edge of the hillside and over some dried up river beds and finally out at your destination. It’s an easy walk, but wear sensible shoes as it’s a bit uneven in places. Enjoy!
