.... is Roda's gain! One couple tonight are in Roda because of the civil unrest in Thailand. They were first affected by the Volcano in Iceland, now by the problems in Bangkok, and they ended up at Elizabeth Apartments. Devine intervention, I asked? Maybe they need to come and live here. ;D

Unfortunately the volcano is at it again - things are looking decidedly twitchy for us in Ireland at the moment and we are hoping it will clear by next week when we are due to fly out. According to our met office this ash problem could go on and off all summer. Great news! Not. Also - and please someone put me straight on this - I have been told by a Greek friend that the beach road is about to be dug up to enable the laying of new sewage pipes. I hope this is not correct, although he swore it was, as that will be the icing on the cake. By the time we have relaxed and chilled out after travel stress it will be time to try and get home - ash permitting.

The pipes were laid ready along the roads last year, due to be laid over winter. With the economic crisis I think this was one project delayed. I'm sure the road is wide enough to still walk along to Acharavi. Bev

I know they were - we saw them but the summer season isn't a good time to restart the work! Er, moi? walk? to Acharavi? Maybe 20 years ago but not now. If no car available a supermarket trolley with himself pushing will do............

Sorry lislydaly, I thought with you complaining of the road being pulled up you enjoyed the walk along there.

I love walking along the beach to Acharavi - pipes or not! At least there are several watering holes along there so if the stress gets too much a Mythos can be ordered!!! janet
