On exiting the car in Evangelismos on Saturday morning, I was greeted by a surprisingly cold breeze….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, it was more of a bitterly cold wind really….(by Greek standards that is, not UK)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Almost everyone was sensibly wearing gloves….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Taking an early detour to avoid a newly placed bee-city right by the road, we encountered our first mud of the day….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It had rained cats and dogs the previous night, so there was MUD pandou….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The flowers are stunning at the moment…..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After a fairly steep descent, followed by a fairly long ascent we arrived at Ripena….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and we briefly took refuge from the wind at the Church of ‘The Falling Asleep of the Virgin’ outside Pidassos….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This oak glade looks like a fabulous setting for the Panagerie….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the Church to the village, the road was asphalt….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This old agro-hut would be great to draw….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looking back towards the coast – great views….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We blew into the kafeneon and recovered from the wind – this was the most creative, if tepid capuccino I’ve had in a while….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After the lunch-break we took a stroll around Pidassos – love the use of these old tiles to protect the baby tomato plants…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We subsequently arrived at ‘the stream’….they had been forewarned!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some chose to paddle – barefoot, and others went the plastic bags over boots route…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

both were successful, and we crossed safely…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Newly placed (but vacant) bee houses outside Evangelismos….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The final stretch back to the village….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An extremely pleasant if windy walk of around 13.7k – the GPS went on strike as I believe it was not happy with the quality of batteries I had supplied for breakfast!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
