Rafina May 30 - June 5th

Our taxi driver from Athens to Rafina was very interesting filling us in on contemporary living in Greece, their problems conforming to the EU and  their economy and politics. It was good to get this honest picture of the modern society!
Rafina was all we hoped it would be - a very quiet and comfortable apartment in  the centre of the town, close to all facilities. During thecweek we took many walks and found some good swimming spots. The harbour area was relatively busy with the ferries plying the route to the islands. There were lots of seafood restaurants along the harbour and a pleasant town  square with lots of cafes and icecream shops, 
One of our swimming places. 
At the beach.
The rown square.
As you can see, blue skies every day and temps in the high 20s and low 30s. Perfect for a week of 
RnR!
We left at 3.30 am for the airport for our flight to Manchester via Amsterdam and again enjoyed a stimulating conversation with the driver about contemporary living in Greece and elsewhere!?
Just as we were about to board the flight at 5.30 an were were told that there was a technical issue which would incur a 10 minute delay. Not to be - we took off at 9.15am!! New connections were organised via the KLM app and we got to Manchester in the afternoon  - 11° there and rain, but at least we were where we wantedt  to be.

We arrived on Friday last and have been on the go almost every minute of the day, so a detailed post will be delayed. Briefly, we saw amazing sights in Instanbul, visited Gallipoli and had a very thorough lecture on the disastrous landing and ensuing battles, and today visited Troy. We are now in Izmir and leave for Cappadoccia tomorrow.

Hagia Sophia

Image
The famous Hagia Sophia was built in the earlier Byzantine (Christian ) era and was destroyed by the invading Ottomans and later by the earthquake of 1346. It was restored by Mehmed the Conquerer in 1357 and converted to a mosque. There are many frescoes dating from the Byzantine period in evidence adding to the splendour of this magnificent building which words alone fail to describe. Hagia Sophia - some interior photos to follow. Evidence of Christian period. Our visit to this cultural magnificence was followed by something more mundane - a turkish delight and baklava tasting! What a selection and so delicious!! The generous sampling satisfied us as lunch and then we went to see the underground cisterns huch were the original water storage facilities and vaste!! Under ground water cisterns. We next visited the Grand Bazaar and did not get lost!!  Some photos!  So many stores with ceramic and ...

Middleton by Youlgreave 7th -21st June

Image
Settled in on the Saturday and on Sunday took our first walk to the next village-  Youlgreave . There is a footpath all the way which makes for easy dry walking. In the afternoon we felt a bit more adventurous and took to the recommended walk from the village. First part was on a path and dry, despite the occasional shower but then we were directed oner the fields first part OK  but then we walked through knee high very wet grass, through a field with very curious but friendly horses and finally back on the road. By that stage we were wet through - so no more fields of grass after rain! On the Monday we visited Bakewell and Buxton. On the road to Bakewell, we were following a fast tractor pulling a horse/cow/farm animal box, heading for the market. When we got close to town we saw many, many such vehicles parked as it was the livestock market!! We were disappointed with the farmers'  market as there was only one vege stall, and so many more selling clothes etc. We found t...
