The day itself was spent blissfully doing not a lot, a late start, a bit of shopping, a leisurely lunch on our terrace and a walk around the saltpans accompanied by lark song (skylark or crested lark, not quite sure )  with a few watercolour sketches of the mountains watching fishing boats negotiate  the narrow canal beneath the causeway to Spinalonga peninsula.
