A couple of days after Diane left we headed North up past Kalymnos to Leros and a bay on the South coast called Xerocambos. We had been there last year on a bike but not by boat. The script is you take a mooring buoy and are expected to eat in the Taverna whose name is on it. Ours was To Kyma.
The people were very nice but I think new to the Taverna game, my meal was terrible , Louise’s was OK. That’s life as Esther would say. It was only after however we noted not everyone followed protocol and ate in whatever restaurant they wanted, trust us,lol. However felt morally holier than thou.
The next day was a nosey ashore and stocking up at the local minimarket. Its getting hot now and the market was up a hill ! We passed a hotel whose pool looked very inviting.
After two nights here we headed round to Lakki. We had intended going into the marina but spotted Bob & Andrea our pals from Kalamata who had been stuck here for 4 weeks with engine problems. They were on the harbour wall so we moored up stern to with our anchor next to them.
We had missed (and so had they) Andreas birthday celebrations so Louise invited them on board for a birthday curry and prezzies.
The harbour wall was quite noisy with the local boy racers. A couple of days was enough and we headed Northward again.
