Ganymede in Mesolonghi

We are over-wintering in Mesolonghi, Greece. Ganymede is covered up as we have been suffering from leaks of rain into the cabin! I hope I have fixed these now by re-sealing all the hatches. But I have always meant to get some covers to protect the boat and these ones are very good value, bought at the local hardware store, just €50 for each cover of 4x6m.

Mesolonghi is a very pleasant town, full of students at the local university, full of bars and cafes, full of bicycles as is it completely flat - probably no more than 2m above sea level!

Our regular daily activity seems to be to cycle into town, have a coffee at a very interesting cafe called Cafe Nero. This place is amazing, it is completely 1930's style in decoration with continuous jazz music playing.

Later, after some shopping, we often end up at the Sugar Cafe, where they serve the most amazing Meze, bringing 2-3 plates free (fish, beans, meat, chips...) for every couple of glasses of white wine ordered. So two glasses of wine each and lunch for €8.
