More Scenic Vistas

Samos

 We hired a car and took a trip round some nice spots on the island.

We had lunch at a groovy cafe and then enjoyed a shady walk up to the smallest waterfall ever to enjoy  a sign in it's  honour. We had dinner up a mountain  at a quirky restaurant, moving on to dessert at our favourite cafe in Kokkari.

Beach Setup

The beachfront this morning...... what a really special place to work

Eastern Samos by Bike

On my day off, I took a bike ride  East to the sandy beach at Psili Ammos, then North to a little cove at Mourtia. I passed several groups of migrants making tbeir way to Samos Town. The beach had abandoned lifevests on it, telling the story of those who had made the short trip across from Turkey. Then I headed West up the North coast to the beautiful little town of Kokkari. After lots of photographing, I settled in at a harbourside cafe to enjoy a beer, lunch and write this blog. So far, a perfect way to spend my day off.

Turkey shrouded in the morning haze:

Morning Mist Over Turkey

The view this morning, as we set up the beach, was sublime.  Clouds hung in the Turkish mountains on the horizon, as the Mediteranean shimmered in the September sunshine.

Hotel Zefiros

 After a long overnight journey, the views from my new office are definately worth it!
