Really well recovered
Woke up at 10 o'clock and already full of energy. I forgot that I still need a bath towel for tomorrow's trip! So, the city is calling... I quickly found what I was looking for and also bought the food and drinks. Because you have to bring these on the trip itself.
What I noticed is that there is always a bowl of water in front of the houses. Partly the water from the air conditioners is collected and partly water bottles are placed beside it. So at least the many stray cats and dogs are provided with water. Cool thing!
It is also noticeable that there are many sports stores, clothing stores specializing in Italian fashion, and many more pharmacies. Sometimes even 2 on the opposite side of the street. And crossing the streets is a whole philosophy! Yes, the Greeks also have something similar to traffic lights. But they don't take it sooo seriously. Especially the pedestrians (I am one of them) cross the streets when necessary. Just observe the situation, determine the speed of the cars and buses, and find the right moment. It works perfectly! Almost as good as my second project: fixing the squeaky doors in our room and bringing the shower head, which was too low, back to a normal height. The Greeks also know WD40 (oil from a can). But a tourist who asks for it probably doesn't really. The guy was very surprised when I asked for it. I found the cable ties in another store. There was also great amazement at my request. lol
Back in the hostel to do the repairs and then immediately prepare everything for tomorrow. Then sit with the book in the basement in the garden. Music in my ears and suddenly I've finished reading the thick book. A little less weight in my suitcase. Yay. At least! Smile
Since I've never been to the city in the evening, I decided to have dinner at the harbor today. With a view of the lighthouse and the many tourists from all countries. Made a short detour to Alexia's jewelry store (where I was gifted again: this time with a big bag of dried thyme. Yummy). Then back to the hostel to write the 2 reports. Oops, there I find already 2 new roommates; one from Russia and one from France. And my long-term roommate from Ireland is leaving me tomorrow.
