We woke up firmly in postcard land.
We are headed back to Turkey today. The biggest challenge before us is deciding where to stop for lunch. As this postcard has real shops in it we found a bakery to get bread and sausage rolls, and we also found a pastry shop.. it took us some time to work out which of the handcrafted delicacies might survey being thrown around in a boat so we bought some biscuits.
A really nice sail back across and into the first bay for lunch.

On the way we saw a very serious looking naval patrol boat. We were right on the border so we changed our flag back and resisted the urge to photograph the patrol just imagine I inserted it here……
Lunch in a nice bay with a few yachts in, then we sailed around a few islands and into our destination for the night.
We are moored up for the night in ‘Sailors Paradise’. The bay almost certainly has a proper name but that is the name of the restaurant at the end. This is typical of the places we have been this week. No road access, in this particular case the village is 30 minutes away by boat and then a drive. They bake their own bread, this place grows most of its own veg, and when it gets dark they start up a big diesel generator.
They provide all a visiting yacht needs. Showers, toilets, although as they have no mains power or water themselves we have to use our own batteries and tanks. It appears to be a family run business and they are no doubt suffering from the drop in tourism around here.
As seems common the place has a large cat population.
The German family at the table behind dealt with the unwelcome guests by throwing water over them.
The cats all seem to have enough to eat. Not sure the 4 boats in tonight spent enough for the business to turn a profit though.
