Rest day already?!


OK, not really a rest day, but an easy day with a no-hard-climb rule ruthlessly enforced.  Chloe was inconsolable because the crag of the day did not involve riding on the scooter, but we managed.  We walked up the hill through the goat pens and got to the Styx crag with just  a little time to climb before the sun started cooking us.  We warmed up on Tonerner Krug, then climbed the excellent Praline and Zugabe.  Next: a little drone flying



 and on to the excellent "I Love Kalymnos"

and amazing "Guillot Corner" dihedral -- the only dihedral I have ever been on with tufas!


From there, it was down to Emborios again, with a shot of our slightly mangled hands
And then fish for lunch
Followed by hanging out at the beach a bit and then wandering to the port for wifi


Also, we switched to a bigger, and wonderful room today at Harry's.  It's still only 48 euro a night, which is well worth it.  It's easily the nicest room we have had on the island, and that's not even talking about the fantastic food and hospitality of Dimitri and Evdokia.   Speaking of which, I ordered the excellent and atypically light Mousakka, and the usual fried eggplant.  At Harry's they have a large vegetable garden, and there is something fantastic about ordering your food, then watching the chef briskly walk out in her apron to the garden, select an eggplant that meets her approval, pick it and then hurry back into the kitchen.
