Kefalonia 7 Sep

Walked through Skala and along towards Mounda beach, picking up some stuff for lunch on the way.  The road went inland but we took a punt on following a track down towards some houses that did indeed join up with the road to the hotel down there.

Free loungers and umbrellas so made use of them just in time before lots more people came and grabbed the rest.  Very shallow water so had to walk a good way out to be out of depth.

Decided to have a go at walking back along the beach despite having been said it wasn't the way to go.  Bit of a clamber in places but quite easy, arriving at a superb swimming place just before the start of the Skala beach.

Stopped off at the first bar on Skala beach, having refreshing drinks before heading back to pack.

Went to a restaurant on the way out of Skala, that we'd walked past earlier.  Very good meal and service and a bit of a sob story from the waiter about how hard it was to make ends meet in the off season months.  He then miscalculated the bill and gave us 10 euros too much change, so very grateful we'd pointed it out.

Home next day.  Odd check-in arrangement where they took the bags but didn't let us through into the departure area until just before the flight because it was small.  When the flight was called we joined a queue that turned out to be people jumping the gun for a later flight, so were called out for our flight, bypassing them.

Collected by Steve W at Stansted, ahead of schedule.
