Mon.21st.Nov.
Did other half of the van this morning. Very warm. Jan wanted coffee so I paused and joined her for a cup, she was still talking about swimming. Finished the van, felt hot, suggested we get swimsuits on and take a dip. Big mistake, very chilly, managed 9 or 10 strokes and gave up. What a wimp!! Seems to me that winter is not the best time to swim down here. May try again when we reach Sicily. I suppose it's a bit like the sea at Wittering on a very hot August day, cold. Took a long walk down the beach towards Agropolis and walked back along the road, saw butchers and couldn't resist buying a couple of steaks for the barbecue. Enormous ribs. Very expensive but hey, we don't eat out so we deserve a treat. Had siesta after lunch, cup of tea and off to the shop for a few groceries. Greengrocer sold us some kaki, a strange fruit, some salad and some oyster mushrooms to go with the steak. Jan has never cooked them before but they were fine. The steaks were great, Jan couldn't eat all hers so steak sandwiches for lunch tomorrow. This is the first day off the booze since we came away, no whisky or wine, I wonder if I'll ever get to like diet coke as much as Jan. Off to see the ruins tomorrow.
