The Launder's big adventure

Stylida - Greece

Saturday 17th March

We make lemonade made from the lemons acquired on Sicily.

Sunday 18th March

We took a trip to a 10th century Byzantine fortified city, Platamon Castle in Platamonas just along the coast. The castle has a pleasant walk around the outside walls with far reaching views over the coastline. Entrance to the castle was free when we went but it is possible they charge in the high season. The castle has been well restored and it is possible to see some original wall paintings from the 14th century in some of the covered buildings. There are many interesting birds and flowers in the grounds and the springtime turns the castle into an abundance of colour.

After our sunlit tour we drove to the local beach where we enjoyed our lunch, a drink in a local café and a walk along the sea front.

Oops mother’s day, completely forgot, in trouble with mother’s.

Tuesday 20th March

We took off to our next destination, Stylida on the gulf of maliakos. We pitch up on a site 50 meters from the sea with uninterrupted views and the temperature in the early 20’s, this prompts us to dig out the summer gear and decide to stay for a long while, making the most of the gorgeous weather we put about 4 loads of washing on so it can dry in the sun and gentle breeze. The following 2 days we have high winds and rain, making us feel like we had been duped!
