Today was supoosed to be one of those well organised days. We were going to head south to meet Diana and her husband, have a look at the new houses they are building and then head off together for a fish lunch at the taverna at Petriti which Diana has been telling us all about. Phoning to confirm our meeting arrangements, it was obvious that this was not going to happen as the Aegean flight which her daughter was catching back to Athens and then on to London had been cancelled. So the whole day changed and we found ourselves along the north east coast instead, at Thomas' Taverna in Kalami.
This winter, Thomas (editor of "My Kerkyra" magazine) has started opening on Sunday lunchtimes, and he has a nice warm seating area right down on the beach where you can watch the boats passing by, or in our case a great big black sea bird diving for fish. We are fairly sure it was a cormorant, but checking in our bird book later it could have been a shag. The weather was terrible with lots of storm clouds over the coast of Albania, but as our lunch progressed, it improved and the sun finally came out. We ate well, choosing "tsigarelli" (wild greens cooked in tomato and red pepper), baked green peppers stuffed with feta, and then both of us chose a seafood maincourse, mine a risotto and my partner's a pasta dish. A carafe of red wine later and we were ready to walk along the now sunny beach and take a nice photo for this blog.
Returning to the car to pick up the camera and don walking boots rather than heels (me not him), we were feeling suitably mellow, only to find a completely flat rear tyre! Good job I had my man with me, as I have never been one of those capable women who can do that kind of thing.
So we didn't get our fish lunch at Petriti or our walk along the beach, but we did have a very nice lunch indeed, and will be returning there again.
