There were two more arrivals, both French. A couple in a motorhome who kindly opted to go into the tallest bay without a tour of the camping and a single guy with a tent who I put down next to the beach. Both are staying two nights which makes it more worthwhile. The single guy plans to leave early tomorrow morning. With Sebastian, and the French Canadians, that makes us very Francophone.
I eventually got to finish my meal as the rain pattered gently outside periodically. I wonder if I’ll be left in peace this evening however the track record for Sunday evening arrivals isn’t that special.
It was blowing and still raining a little so I loafed in my bed until five before taking the dogs out. We nearly completed the usual route just not the last bit to the Promontory. Instead, I took the boys back then went back with the girls to put the bottles into the glass container at a more sociable hour. Only the Italian from yesterday was in the car park although a car was parked nearer to the beach. The guy came back with his dog as I was sorting the glass but both retreated into their van.
I rode into Paleochora directly to the bakery and then Petrakis. Earlier, it’d been windy but it was now a little calmer. I didn’t really have a lot of time as I was unsure if the single French guy would go or stay. Even so, it was well past nine when I got back.
The only departures have been the French Canadians and the M3 family from yesterday. They were on the beach earlier with the father being goalie for his son. They also went swimming, the first of the year so they said. They appear to have enjoyed their stay despite the weather. I collected 60€ from them which I felt was quite a lot for M3 considering there’s no private bathroom.
A German couple came to view the camping as they plan to stay for the winter next season. I gave them the tour and they seemed suitably satisfied. They have my number so we’ll see if they actually turn up. Better they contact me than try to go via the office.
I was called to the vending machine by a customer as a can was wedged so didn’t fall onto the conveyor which resulted in an error. Toni came and gave the can to the customer then reset the machine.
Georgia has left to return to Chania in order to vote. The rules for forming a government are different this time. Previously, the party with the most votes received a bonus fifty seats making a majority comparatively easy. That has now changed so around 48% of the votes is required to form a majority. I understand voters are looking for something different so there may be a coalition which might breath new life into the discussion.
The restaurant is still closed to the public although there was some rattling around in the kitchen much of the day and some staff meals. Only one arrival scheduled and that is something to do with Georgia so I handed over the keys.
