After a day of baking
in the sun, dipping in and out of the pool, sipping Ice cool drinks
and eating Greek Salad you return to your apartment for a shower and
a chance to put your feet up. As the evening draws in the air
changes, the colour pallete softens from the intensity of the blue
and the cicadas start to chatter. You dress in your holiday best,
your strappy sandals, off the shoulder floaty dresses or your Linen
Blend cool trousers and saunter along the main road. Some of you
choose the beach front path, up and over the little bridge with their
dry beds, still festooned with flowers and insect life.Some of you
have just come off the beach staying there as long as you possibly
can and don't go back and change.
The lights come on
along the waterfront accentuating the curve in the bay and reflecting
in the calm waters. It's a Millpond night and all you can hear is the
gentle whoosh of the waves across the shingle. People meander about
looking for a place to eat. Mums and Dad's with small children push
tired babies back home after an early evening meal, passing others
just going out for the evening.
The lights in the
Tavernas draw you in to your favorite eateries, while some of you try
new venues, meet up with friends or new acquaintances made on your
holiday
The mood is peaceful,
calm, even the few cars or Peds that pass by move slowly. Dogs run
in and out looking for their favourite spot to stop and read the
Canine Newspaper whilst cats forever on the prowl, look hopefully up
at you as you sit down to eat. Some stay, whilst some get shewed
away.
As the evening drifts
by the soft breeze dips as you sit gazing out across the harbour.
As the evening draws to
a close and it's time to drift back home or taste a cocktail or two
how strange it is to feel moisture in the air and those of you on
Quads or in cars have to wipe the dew off the seats or windows. Home
and ready for the next day.
