It was last September when we last saw the building work on the new harbour.

Have any of those who have visited Plakias this year a progress report/pictures on the work to date?

We are to visit again at the end of September for 2 weeks (but taking in the tourist festival) so maybe it will be completed and in use by then?

OK all you doubters. I recall many posts which poked fun at the progress and now we are so close. The contract called for a time frame of three years starting in Oct. 2006- Well, it is Oct. 2009 and they are finishing up with the asphalt. What is there now is the extent of their contract and I think they have done a great job- How about a round of applause.

  Fair enough. We saw some boats using it in September and it did look quite good. I noticed more boat trips this year which, I guess, is a good thing for the locals.

Here are some photos that I took last week.  Quite a lot of progress was made during the week I was there.

That is a lot of work since we were there 2 weeks ago or so. It is going to look quite attractive and will indeed be an asset.

Thanks for all the compliments- I will be there for five days starting Saturday and will take some photos- I just have not mastered the art of uploading them to this site- Any help on his?

Step 1 - pick a suitable (free) online album site (Flickr, Worldisround, Picasa, etc.).  Note that Flickr works slightly differently - I will annotate later.

Step 2 - using the help on the album site, upload as few or many pictures as you like.

Step 3 - (Assuming you have selected the one{s} to post here) Right-click your mouse on the picture and select "Copy image location" (or whatever variant your browser uses), then in your Plakias post, paste that information at the point where the picture should be.  Place BBcode tags around the image location .... like this:
Code: [Select]
Text, blah blah blah

[img]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/3335478170_b7e26e81d9.jpg[/img]
more text,blah blah blah
Which then gets presented like this:

 Text, blah blah blah


more text,blah blah blah

**************
Flickr - You will have to work a bit harder with Flickr:
From the selected picture, select the "More sizes" option, above it.
Select the size you want (Thumbnail; Small; Medium; Large; Full Size).
Below the chosen size-image, there is an option:
"To link to this photo on other websites you can either:
1. Copy and paste this HTML into your webpage:
2. Grab the photo's URL:"

 - Use "2.", select and copy the URL directly.

This replaces the instruction {Right-click your mouse on the picture and select "Copy image location"} in Step 3, above.

I uploaded my photos direct from my pc by using the upload and browse buttons on the bottom right of the screen.

But I think that if you do it this way, the pictures come out small (don't know why).

I've tried that in the past with other pictures, and now again with this one: no joy.
