First full day on Milos.
I get up early about 6-15 and go for a walk
. Along the shore I see a small heron type bird, I am sure it wasn,t an egret. I will have to try and idenify it as I took a photo on my phone but the magnification isn`t so good.
Back to the room and have breakfast Voula has put on a lot of things and tries to give you extra bits and bobs.
I did the usual holiday time waste of thinking about hiring something but don`t! After visiting 2 or 3 hire places we hire a taxi and go to Pollonia, it was 14 euros. There is a bus back at 2-30 dentist time.
Pollonia is a small resort with a lot of acommadation, some of which have a nice setting, eg Tonya`s and Salt. We have a nice walk around the headland. We call in at a cafe on the way back round but whilst it had a nice setting a bit much at 6euros for a glass of coke and a sprite!
We settle down on the beach and I wander off to get supplies, which turn out to be a cheese pie, bread roll and a bag of crisps, quite healthy as no chips involved!
We catch the bus back and as forecasted on Windfinder, the wind is picking up and it is supposed to be quite extreme for the next 2 days
.
A stroll into town as it`s too windy to go on the beach near our room. Call in at a travel agency, they say Super Jet has been repaired and will run on Saturday. If it dos`nt it seems NEL have put on the Aqua Maria which on Sunday will go to Paros. This would mean a night or two there and to have to contact Katerina`s in Ios to rearrange the dates. We will see what happens.
In the evening we walked along the coast to the taverna which is rated number 1 on Trip Advisor for Adamas. It has a nice setting and we shared a starter of cheese peppers and sun dried tomato which was hot and spicey, this was fine. For mains I had a lamb dish done in paper, this turned out to be neck of lamb, fatty and not very good. Jean ordered a chicken dish but this turned out to be skinny drumsticks. We were not impressed.
