The Meltemi is the name of the strong north wind that blows through the Cyclades over the summer. It usually lasts for a few days then is calm for a bit. At the moment it is blowing hard. In Amorgos we explored the main town with its whitewashed buildings and cobbled lanes. We love the querky architecture in these towns Still on Amorgos we visited this very impressive monastery set into the cliffs overlooking the sea A closer look at the monastry. It was a long hot walk up to see it. Another one of Amanda's great arty photos, taken looking out ftom the monastry. My octopus fishing is going well. Octopus rely on camouflage and you often see them on the bottom pretending to be a rock. However when I dive down and sneak up on them it normally turns out to be a rock pretending to be an octopus. This one was cooked in red wine and served with pasta. We are now on the island of Schinousa waiting for the Melteni to stop blowing. This is one of our favourite bays and favourite islands so we are happy to wait. Anchoring is not a competition but you will notice we a slightly in front of everyone else. While we are waiting we have been going for lots of walks and meeting the locals. They seem very friendly. This donkey's name is Oaty.
