Spetsofai - Village Sausages with Onions, Peppers & Tomatoes

So, what did I order for lunch at Anidri Cafe?

Well, it had to be a plate of Spetsofai with some fresh bread & a Mythos.

A recipe for this dish is now available on The Paleochora Site: Paleochora Cretan Recipes

Day Off!

Whoopie! My first day off in 3 weeks! So what did I do so far? I went to work.

Well The boys & I walked up Anidri Gorge this morning, had luch at Anidri Cafeneon and then walked back down again.

Now we are relaxing a bit before going to meet Jenny at the end of her shift at  the Beach Bar (and having an ouzo while waiting for her to finish)

Bliss.

Agia Irini Gorge: More Beatutiful Than Samaria?

Well, thats a difficult question (and not one to ask up at Omalos). The Irini gorge is much shorter and less, how can we say, dramatic than its big neighbour but many argue that it has a greater sublime beauty.

This month, Bob Tait takes us down the gorge in his 'Explore!' article. Read it here

Work, work. work!

So, the season has had a stuttering start here in Paleochora (the volcano in Iceland created a few problems) but there are people enjoying the weather and the countryside even if it's a little early for swimming.

Both Jenny & I have started summer jobs. I will be found in the evenings at The School House Cafeneon at Anidri and Jenny will be at the Jetee Beach Bar during the afternoons. Both of us will be stuck firmly in the kitchen so, ask if we are around.

Δεν δρεπισε λιγο?

'The Greek government has said it wants to reduce the deficit to 5.6% of GDP in 2011, and 2.8% of GDP in 2012.
But spending cutbacks measures being introduced by Athens to restore its finances are being resisted.
On Thursday, tens of thousands of Greek civil servants staged a strike to protest against the austerity programme.
Protesters have been demonstrating in Athens, not far from where officials from the IMF and European Central Bank are meeting to determine the fine details of a financial rescue package for Greece. ' - BBC Online

All |I can say is:

Δεν δρεπισε λιγο;

Groovy New Sign

I would imagine this was erected in order to distiguish it from the 'To-Martyred Municipality of Koundoura'

Something I just made about Paleochora

I found a cool tool on Youtube and felt the need to play with it.....

Cycling + Crete = Total Exhaustion

Fancy coming to beautiful, mountainous, warm Crete? Mmmm, sounds good, eh?

For a cycling holiday? Well, there are people who do just that and, during the autumn, winter & spring months, there are a few ex-pats who take to the saddle.

Regardless of what the weather is doing, it doesn't make those mountains any less steep so, for me, this is an activity best left to others of a more masochistic disposition.

Bob Tait details a couple of cycle rides around Paleochora in this months post on Bob's Blog on The Paleochora Site.
