Day 5

No dolphins today!!!! However, we did at least see a few sea turtles... We did the fish farm survey today, which involves driving veerrrrry slowly along various fish farms in the gulf, checking for dolphins - but there weren't any today. We had a brief stop in Preveza for a drink (as the end of the survey is close to Preveza) - last time we were in Preveza we saw 4 turtles from the bar, but no such luck this time!

More photo-ID in the afternoon - a tricky sighting with several similar and very lightly marked animals. We managed to match 11 out of 16, which we were pretty pleased with (the other 5 were virtually unmarked, although Eli later managed to match a couple more).

It was Elaine and Claire's turn for evening meal tonight - onion pie and strawberry cheesecake for desert. Claire was a bit OCD about how they'd turn out and thought the cheesecake was way too sweet (some of the ingredients were a bit lucky dip as we couldn't work out exactly what the label meant) but everyone seemed to really like it (Richard mopped up all the remnants!). It's Lauren and Richard's turn tomorrow, so by mutual consent we're going to Remezzo's for dinner!
