Just before the swimming beach we had a real treat. We came up to a small white washed church which was rather sweet in its own right. But our attention quickly shifted to the grounds of the church when we saw who was out for a post siesta stroll.
What a simply gorgeous tortoise, and what a shame it is that you don't see them very often nowadays. A veteran bear such as Ungi, can remember going over to his minder's grandma's house when his minder was a small girl and seeing a tortoise wandering in the garden. That was many years ago though, and George, Yorkie and I had never seen one before, so we were completely enthralled by the sight.
Eventually we tore ourselves away to walk the final few yards to the swimming beach , and what a fine beach it was.
We blend in rather well with the rock but hopefully you've spotted us. It was great for drying of our fur. The water was so clear and quite warm so we didn't need our snorkels to see what was underneath us.
What with sailing, swimming and walking, we were getting quite hungry. We saw a pig being spit roasted on our return journey and decided that was the place for us to eat - but first things first, it was beer o'clock!
Lots of love, Eddie, George & Yorkie xxx

Did the tortoise come for a swim with you, followed by a juicy lettuce leaf and a swig of retsina?
Midlands Branch thought there was not much for the tortoise to eat or drink in your picture, and were very surprised you remember a tortoise at N.K.
