I really didn’t do much with my time on Samos. Undoubtedly a beautiful island, but full of tourists with the prices of everything marked up accordingly. It’s a resort, like Torquay – and I wouldn’t go there for a holiday either! I nosed around the castle and went for a swim. I love looking under the waves with my snorkel mask on. Otherwise I spent all my time reading, on Facebook, painting and feeling slightly guilty that I could have been doing all that at home! With Steve!
But it’s warm here – and I can see why (us) older folks migrate to the sun to warm their bones. I’ve not seen any rain since Thessaloniki (which was months worth in one huge downpour).
There are lots of cats here – a favourite incident occurred at a restaurant where I gave the last tidbits of my meal to a kitten – and several more turned up to see what was on offer. I was thoroughly entertained by the sight of three kittens playing chase around the large trunk of a tree next to my table. They would try to outwit each other by changing direction or waiting to ambush. Hilarious J
