Mon 4 July - Yesterday the wind blew all day and the skies clouded over every now and again, cooling the air down quite abit after the heatwave, The wind managed to clear the mist from the sky and the clouds were blown away. The predicted weather change passed Ithaki by again. Athens and other towns on the mainland were not so lucky with flash floods causing mayhem in many areas. |
