A month already!

Well time has certainly flown by and we've done our first stint at house/dog/cat sitting for the year and are now enjoying a week to ourselves before embarking on the next one! We will be looking after a lovely house and 3 sweet dogs in the old village on the island for the next 3 weeks....should be fun!
A lot of friends from the UK but made in Alonissos are currently on the island so this week has been an endless round of nights out eating and drinking....it has to be done!  It was Pauls birthday yesterday which also coincided with the date for the Alonissos Challenge.  He took part in the 15k walk and was very pleased to come 4th....his best placing yet 😀.
We had a wander around the seafront the other day and came across these two making good use of someones tractorichi....yes, these are actually driven on the island, always by men and apparently you have to pass a driving test of sorts!!

From this mode of transport to the complete opposite end of the scale now.  This impressive piece of kit arrived in the harbour last week and is now moored in the next bay whilst its current inhabitants attend a homeopathy course on the island.....we have seen prices quoted for this yacht OURANOS from 210,000 euro per week to 210,000 per day.....some people have far too much money!!!
