Here we are again in Greece after another zip through Italy and onto the Ferry from Brindisi, this time to Patras, halfway down the western side of Greece, which made our drive to Koroni a much more pleasant 4 hours.
Its GREEN! This is the first time either of us have been here at this time of the year, and the normal roadside scenery has changed colour. Instead of the brown and gold crispy looking hillsides, we’re seeing emerald green everywhere, particularly in between the masses of olive trees (we're near Kalamata!). We’re told its been a very wet year and this is not quite the norm. Another thing which has astonished me is the amount of large lush gum trees along the roadsides – sometime I feel as though I could almost be in Australia as we drive through.
All is going well here in Koroni, and the town is looking as lovely as we remembered despite the fact thats its almost winter, so some of the tavernas are shut down, and the main street is all dug up!
