Methoni daytrip

so we couldn't figure out local bus to Methoni, only a very long way round, and a local taxi driver wanted too much money, so we decided to go to Koroni and try to get a taxi from there, and a short negotiation got us a round trip for 50 euros, (instead 80!) with 4 hours to look at the magnificent venetian-cum-turkish castle, a nice meal of salad, fried cukkinis and giant prawn souflaki, a meander about the old town, sitting with coffee/tea - no cake this time. We decided to ask nice taxi man to drive us back to A Andreas for an extra 10 evros and got an adventurous shortcut, starting with wading through a river still in Methoni, that just started to grow due to the outbursting storm. Got us home in a surprisingly 30min and without feeling sick in those tiny curvy mountain roads, going through surprised little places. Olive harvest is going on everywhere. The photos show a few from Last visit in Koroni, the rest is Methoni. Another rather pleasurable day. It was nice to be back for the total duration of a thundersome and hail-bothered tempest, in a bit, after home-made cauliflower soup we might venture out to blog and do other all-important interneting.
