A not so worrying development

[JBMouse]

The sunshine is a bonus! Seriously though, we do go for the weather, last year in Lefkada we had several days of rain, thunderstorms etc., something I had never experienced in Greece before, and this was early June. We are returning to Plakias because we like the quieter atmosphere, the Cretan sun, value for money (exchange rate allowing!), good choice of tavernas, and many other things. I just hope it remains, within reason, as it is.
Me, I am just growing old disgracefully.

Me, I am just growing old disgracefully.

I tried doing that once then found out I already was  

We can only hope that there's not too many changes too quickly, JBM.

Raki is the elixir of youth Chas, unfortunately if you have too much one can become disgraceful

At the request of Mike G. I will give you a quick update- There has been n o activity on the development from Alianthos to the far end- Only a few plastic pipes laying in the field around the area of the old Meltemi- The major work thast has been done is in stalling water and sewage pipes in the main road leading into town- Also the road has been widened- All that is need is the final asphalt- I will be in town this week end and give you and update- As to the harbour, it is moving along- Not to worry for those who like to walk to Souda- They have been stockpiling materials all winter in the lot above tha harbour and below the road- That way they can use this material in the summer and not have constant truck traffic on the road to Souda- Not saying there won't be some, but certainly not the pace that they had last summer.
As usual, the locals have been busy during the oss-season remoddeling or otherwise sprucing up the area- The place looks better all the time-

My deasr friends-
I just returned from Plakias and I do not have good news- First there is still more work to be done on the main road into town, but more importantly, construction has begun on the site west of the road before Paligremnos- The site is fenced  and in the two weeks I was gone they have begun excavation and infact on building(don't know what it is)has started to be framed - There is also a construction trailor on the site.
So, here we go-
