The main street saga continues! For the last couple of weeks there has been only the odd, short but very messy flurry of activity:- mostly of the bulldozing the street surface sort! And then it was Monday morning! We went out to pay the phone bill at the OTE office (conveniently located in the main street) and there it was - focussed manual labour by four or five men, and opinions from another fifty.
In the space of a day they laid concrete to form the new pavements down both sides of the 150m stretch. The businesses were all closed for the day (except fortunately the OTE - Bob crept over the mesh that was there in readiness) and the owners looked on anxiously - often using a hose pipe. It was very noisy and the traffic was chaotic with two mixer lorries coming and going, but by last night (Tuesday) it was starting to look worth it! More tables and chairs could be sensibly used outside the kafenions. We went to Yanni's for the first time this year. They seemed genuinely pleased to see us. Nikos told us the water feature and fancy tiles are postponed till next year, but the street would be Paradise next week! Hmmmmmm!
