Naxos

We arrived in Naxos on Sunday evening after two good flights and a short stopover in Athens airport. Our suitcase had been checked right through from Split so we were very pleased to see it arrive on Naxos with us! My friend Averil was there to meet us and take us back to her place.  After getting settled and a bit of a catch up we went to her brother in law's restaurant for a meal. The restaurant is right on the beach and at night they even put some of the tables on the sand. We had a beautiful meal - such wonderful flavours. Ave turned up after we had finished eating so we shared another glass of wine with her.

      Averil has accommodation units here and we are staying in one of them. Her sister Carol and husband Brian and friend Sally are here from NZ too so there are no other guests while we are here.  The place is beautiful and it is only 20 steps to the beach.    

Yesterday we had breakfast on our balcony, did more 'talking' had a swim and lie on the beach, had a home cooked meal late in the afternoon and generally had a relaxing time. It will be more of the same today!!
