... for all the fish? Well, maybe not, but the answer's 42 and I'm going to another galaxy. At least it will feel that way.
I'll be off-line approximately three and a half weeks. We're weighing anchor on Monday morning (not literally, we're driving) and the flight leaves on Wednesday. It's time for the summer holidays.
Since we're in coastal mid-Norway with very changeable weather and summer temps equaling other people's winter temps, we like to head south to be certain of sun, warmth and bathing temps. Last year we went to Denmark, but that was too far north, even though we had a lovely three weeks there. After all, we're used to rain.
So this year we're heading for Rhodes, Greece again. We've been going there every other year for the past 12 years. We've got friends there, a nice hotel in Rhodes town we like to stay in, and the girls love the place. There are lizards, old ruins, the old town, beaches, flowers and lots of ice cream and delicious food. It gets dark at night, but we can live with that as long as it's warm.
We've got our little routines too. Up early, breakfast, beach, lunch, siesta, and off to shop, chat and eat until we roll home. We're looking forward to salads, barbecued meat, lovely sea food, dolmades, pastitio, souvlaki and lots of feta cheese. If it's not too hot we go sight-seeing every other day or so. There's so much to see and so many lovely spots to re-visit, we never get round to it all.
I thought I'd just let you know, since we'll be busy packing and tidying up both inside and outside for the next few days. The horses are in good hands, the neighbours will mind the cats, and hopefully the house and garden plants too. Enjoy yourselves, post glorious photos so I'll have something to look at when we get home.
