Same day but much later

Our flight was smooth enough and took 3 hrs 20 mins. Arrived at Mytillini airport on the SE edge of the island. Collected luggage and found our coach transfers. It was much easier to be taken though Mytillini rather than negotiate one way streets with signs only in Greek. 

Unpacked suitcases and headed straight out to the salt pans. What a difference from the last time when there was an abundance of water. This year the fields are dried up and being used for pasture. The mud banks are cracked and dry. Not good for migrants.

Dinner at kalloni beach hotel ...all 17 of us. Met Steve Dudley, the author of our bird guide to lesvos. He stays in the hotel pasiphae where I am with Pat and 6 others. The remaining 9 are in the kalloni bay hotel. 

Tomorrow our car and another plan to drive to the west and the monasteries.
