Re: GP convenient to Tala

I can only find bus route 604 from Tala which goes via Chloraka and Emba to Karavella bus station in the old town.

I have checked the GESY Personal Doctors list and the only PD within walking distance of a bus stop on that route is the one in Chloraka.

Re: Question on driving licence application form

I see on the application form that particular section tells people to See Note 14.

Translated from Greek Note 14 states:
If you have any doubts about your health status consult your GP or opthalmologist before completing the application form.

Re: Rain at last

Fortunately at the weekend we cleaned all the flyscreens, windows, patio doors, balconies and patios and created our own mud bath then.
So when it rained this morning everything was clean and just needed a quick squeegee.
