Staying in the shade at Kiparissi

 There are no sun beds or umbrellas on the beaches here so we managed to buy a couple of rush maps and borrow an umbrella from the hotel. It is very hot even as we cycle off unladen at 9.30. I think I’m still suffering from the ill effects of my heat exhaustion yesterday (somewhat underplayed in Simon’s description in yesterday’s blog!) We find a lovely quiet spot and are relatively comfortable leaning on rocks. I am seeking shade all day so sometime must be wrong! Clear water for frequent dips and nice light lunch at taverna overlooking the beach. 

We’re a bit anxious about the next few days cycle as it seems very mountainous around here and I’m worried I might feel I’ll again. I’m hoping we can get a lift in a truck….or we may have to leave at 6am…
