PIXI'S MUM SAMPLES THE "CRUISING LIFE"











Sunday 30th September
A longish and rather lively leg brought us to Paros and the big bay of Naousa. We tucked into the North West corner and sat out the Melttemi for five nights altogether.
The rocks around us were weathered into the most fantastic shapes.
We rented a car and toured the island with Freda and were rather taken with the narrow alleys of Paroikia, the capital. The church there is one of the oldest in the world and is beautifully decorated. Freda was very impressed with the knarled olive trees we saw while driving
.

Tuesday 25th September
We arrived in Athens (actually Pireaus) and decided to try the Zea marina for a change. It was a good call and we much preferred it to Kalamaki. Pixi’s mum Freda Parker joined us on Friday 28th September for a short holiday and a break from the rather cold fall weather in England. We had a lovely meal on her first night and set of in bright sunshine and with little wind, a calm sea on Saturday 29th for Kithnos
