Kali Mera from Crete

I am writing from Crete after arriving here just yesterday afternoon. I spent most of last week at my cottage off and on making it more comfortable for my guests there and those to come.
I laid carpet in the bedroom upstairs, hung a few pictures and spent a bit of time on the garden making it a lot more presentable. It was so overgrown but I think it looked good when I left. Planted a few herbs and some tomatoes, lettuces and zucchinis, hope the guests get to eat them before the snails do!
It was great to get there and see a few friends, didnt have time to visit my French friends but saw a few of my British friends which was lovely to see them again.
I bought my little car, a Renault Laguna, it was really good value at 300euros but not insured so I did take a bit of a risk driving around for the week. It was hard to get used to the other side of the road again but it all came back to me after an hour or so.

I flew down here yesterday from Nantes, about 2.5hours south of my cottage area and a direct flight to Crete in 3.5hours was an easy trip even if I did have to leave at 6.00am.
Tony has been laid up with suspected broken ribs and is really badly druised after falling in th cockpit of the yacht last week. We spent some time at the hospital today and we need to return again tomorrow for some more blood tests, they fear he may have an infection?? though he seems to think he is ok there, its just the bruising that is very bad.
The little village here is called Eloundra, just North of Agios Nickalous on the north side of Crete. A small fishing village with many hotels and tourist places, its full of Brits and a lot of Northern Europeans. The food is cheap and the peopl are really lovely.

We had a full English breakfast today for 3.80 euros, about $6.00 so we havent eaten anything else today it was so filling. You wander around the town in and out of cafe's, sports bars and lots of touristy shops. Its right on the beach full of umbrellas and beach chairs. The weather is beautifully warm around 25degrees. Everyone speaks excellent English, though I do try out the Greek I am learning along the way.
I am getting my Kali mera's and Kali sehra's mixed up but will probably get it right by the time to leave.
We may sail off on Wednesday, if Tony is able and weather permitting, but at the moment we are in a hotel Tony booked to recover from the fall. Its opposite the beach overlooking the sea and we can view the yacht from the balcony to make sure its ok. I am looking forward to going on the yacht, havent been on board yet.
The other couple Annie and Liam have sailed off already but we plan to drive to where they are tomorrow and catch up with them. They are on a mission to catch up with some other friends well into the Med already. Tony says he wants to take his time sailing and exploring the many places along the way, which of course I am happy to go along with. We will leave here and head for the Peloponnese a group of islands off the west of Greece before doing the 24hour sail across to Sicily. We will spend a few days there because there is so much to see it seems. Our first stop will be Syracuse then head up towards the toe of Italy.
