Stopping by the side of the road to admire the view in Lesvos where the whole island seems to be planted with olive trees. Right in front of us was a tree with a few olives at the top of its branches. They must have missed these in the olive picking season. Standing on a stone wall i managed to pick a bag full. Great for our salad I thought. After taking them home and washing them. We bit into them and they are SOUR. Apparently it takes a few months to prepare them to eat.
In each hotel we stayed they is a cord in the shower, Michelle decided to try it thinking she might be able to hang her clothes on it The receptionist rang immediately to see what the emergency was. It is a emergency cord.
Backgammon is very popular, you see many people playing in the coffee shop, so Michelle went to the counter and asked for a backgammon set. They pointed her to the toilets. Michelle tried to explain with mime what she wanted. They had no idea but were very entertained. later a waitress was curious as to what she wanted. She spoke some English and explained that it is called Tarvli in Greece.
Big Rookie error for someone else: As we arrived at our new hotel in Skopelos there was a crane lifting a buggy out of the harbour. Someone where we were staying drove over the edge of the seafront into the sea. Luckily the drop was only about 2m below. A big rookie error, end of holiday and fast boat back to the mainland hospital.
One waterlogged buggy!
