Naxos!

turns out the high speed ferries make me violently seasick! we spend three days on naxos, mostly in Chora where i saw some beautiful wasps and beetles, the food is incredible, PI & FI, Melimilon (went four times), Melanes Cafe for breakfast by car, saw this given up on VW, and many sάvra (lizards).

a yellow and black wasp from above sitting on a peach coloured flower. with several green flower buds a blue T3 transporter ute. sun-faded and overgrown with dry grass. pallets are leant against it there are trees in the background. the ground is pale and dry. a narrow laneway in melanes, naxos. there are white flowers in bloom covering the path. with a set of marble topped stairs leading up to the left and some exposed stone on the right. a narrow channel is cut into the floor to track any water down through the villiage. the sky is a clear blue in the top of the image. some of the stone is exposed in the wall with the white render in disrepair

snack city

a gyros, a beef pie, a leek pie, a ricotta bagel, a Gemista, a cheese pie, and a bunch of coffee. we learnt kalimέra for good morning, and efcharistό for thankyou! This morning i woke at 6:30am and walked to the national gardens, a perfect start to the day with many joggers and birds, plenty of birds to see including the pica picaand the south american myiopsitta monachus
