    My Greek adventure is nearing its end for now. After two months here wife is getting antsy for her own home and stinky fish Some tom. We changed our return ticket to a month earlier , just got our Thai pass approved, and will be returning to Thailand the 30th.
    In the meantime the weather has gotten warmer here and today we spend the day on the beach, Weather getting warmer (32 and sunny) and I even went in the water.

    The Greek air force was kind enough to put up a show for us, it a major army airport is not too far from there and they practice over the water all the time . The greek pilots are voted the best in NATO every year, and it shows but it is gard to capture with a cell phone camera.

    That seawater looks crystal clear BB, it's been a long time since I've swum in the Med. Do you know what temperature it was? I'm hoping to swim off the English coast in a couple of months time but I think it'll be too cold.

    You should be careful posting pics of your feet on this forum... it can draw a lot of criticism!

    LOL , I was thinking the same about the feet, thinking back at the ribbing you got from the pictures of your's. They are all a bunch of perverts with latent foot fetish tendencies. Thats why when I posted a picture of my feet I hire a foot double to stand in for me. Money well spend if you ask me . LOL
    A check on a local sea temperature web page and it posted a 19.3 degrees Celsius for the area. A bit too chilly for my liking and I consider running out , but then I saw all the children and old people swimming and felt like such a wimp. once I took the plunge it was fine and even enjoyable.
    I guess it would all depend where in the English coast. I know that the Gulf stream bathes the western coast and must raise the water temperature significantly there. In other areas , currents and depth gradient would play a significant part, but I am sure in two months time you will be fine.

    Lets be honest here Mendy. Your webbed hobbit feet are (or were) pretty torn up when you posted pics. Black toenails, some with no toe nails, some infected at various times. Most people don't really pay attention like in BB"s case. Just showing a chill relaxed beach pic. Yours made some of us puke up a bit of bile. Just saying....

    Harsh. Mendip's gremlin feet are to help little Miss Mendip with her school projects, learning about dinosaurs etc.

    That is a shame. Greece in the summer is unmatched. After being on this forum for as long as I have, reading posts like this is why I decided LOS and the women there are not for me.

    We had planed to stay for the summer and get back to Thailand end of summer when the weather there starts to cool down a bit, but we have been here for two months now in the first week we got covid, nothing serious not even a fever but it tied us down for a little over a week, then a tooth filling my wife did just before we left Thailand started hurting, finally we had it removed and re-done , then last Thursday while we were driving my wife got dizzy all of a sudden, and started vomiting , so I turn around and took her to the health center, after checking everything they could they said that we need to see an ear doctor. Next day we went and saw an ear doctor, he could not find anything and told us to go to the hospital , at the hospital they did all sort of tests and could also not find anything wrong, so two days later we went to a vertigo specialist. he could not find anything wrong that he could treat, and suggested we go see a neurologist.
    By that time all my wife wanted to do was go home, so we are coming back, see her doctors there, regroup and perhaps we can come back in September when my sister is going to be in Greece too,
    In the mean time we had some fun, got to see some interesting places and eat some great food. And I got my Greek passport and ID card so coming back next time it would be a lot easier.

    At this point I will borrow from another Greek theme movie and rename this thread " My life in ruins" LOL
    Not sure if she will fair better in Thailand medical wise, but at least she will be home, nothing worst than to not feel well and not be in your own house.
    She was feeling better today and I hope that when she wakes uo (4:15 am here now) she will feel better.

    Good call, I am buying food stuff that is impossible to find in Thailand to bring with me but I had totally forgotten a bottle of Ouzo. I am not a big fan of the stuff but I do drink it on occasion.
    Thank you for reminding me.

    No , I have yet to meet a Greek that loves the stuff, I think it is a rite of passage and proof of one's Greekness .

    Love would be too strong a word, I enjoy an occasional glass at the Greek restaurant.

    That said, I am nearly omnivorous with alcohol. Last week I experimented with Lao Khao Martinis. They weren't a great success, no need to try it, I do these things so that others don't have to.

    Wife started feeling better today, and we went to the beach again. 33 degrees celsius and sunny, wish we were not coming back but at the same time , I look forwards to being in my own house.

    The reason I made this post, is I am sitting in the small Living room , I look out the balcony , and there are five cats out there. Wife has been feeding them and the word is out LOL. We had to put the chair and suitcase by the door so they don't come in.

    Any way , life goes on . We have three more days here and will make the best of it , we are thinking perhaps coming back September when my sister and her husband, with whom we are both very close with will be here . We will see.
