For some reason, Sasha was getting her knickers in a twist early in the morning. I let her out and then in and then out again where she continued making a fuss. I ignored her as it was soon time to get up.
It was another light morning with some darker clouds over the mountains. Luis and his tree were united and he wailed until I released him. This time, he was allowed to proceed to Plakaki under his own steam and so made it onto the Plakaki rocks for some biscuits. I had to prevent them chasing a dog innocently walking itself on the beach on the walk back. Isabella and Sasha were out front so took the brunt of it. A little squealing from them soon persuaded the others to turn back too.
I rode to Paleochora directly to Anatoli and back as I didn’t want to risk being caught out. There was nothing going on at the road works when I passed and not a wheel was turning. Just the same as yesterday. A far cry from Antonis’ description of how the works would progress in the shortest possible time.
There were two departures, the Swiss couple and one washing machine to start my day. The German lady with the daughter who stayed in T1 is leaving for the ferry tomorrow so I worked out her bill. Even so, I managed to over-charge her by 50€ until I realised the error.
I eventually managed a cup of tea but was soon to be called away by the ACS courier to collect two packages, one containing four AirTags. Now I can find and keep track of the master keys, something that has been of concern ever since I was given them. My bike also has one in case someone should decide to ‘borrow’ it at some point. I’ve not locked a bike in the last ten years. But you cannot be so sure during the summer months.
A new arrival from IOM was waiting as I was walking away from the ACS man. They are subject to the same Brexit travel consequences as other UK residents. They are in the upper part of the camping next to the Dutch couple.
Janne and Erica went on an outing to Kissamos. They seem to be getting out and about recently: Chania, Άνυδροι, Kissamos, whatever next? They even managed some quite demanding walking. Erica is still getting over an ankle injury. They have but a few days before their trip comes to an end.
The guys have been busy moving stuff out of the storeroom which I’ve left a trail of clutter all over the place. I had a couple of good attempts at rationalising by ever-increasing collection of item, mine, customers’ and stuff I’ve collected as potentially useful. I’m not sure there will soon be enough room to house the camping furniture!
Tomorrow, Gabi and Manfred arrive with their dog to take the reserved space next to the small beach gate. They will have the choice of both places now that Frau Waldmann is departing. I made such a mess of things last year, and I’ve been reminded twice by Gabi, so I need to make certain they have a trouble-free checkin. They are good customers, refugees of Paleochora Camping, so deserve some additional effort as they stay regularly for several months.
I was called to the reception where there were three women walkers from Poland with tents. They are settled on one of the motorhome bays. At the same time, a couple in a motorhome arrived to stay for a couple of days before catching the ferry to the mainland. Apparently, they have a place in the Peloponnese but may consider Crete in the winter.
