The wall behind&#8217;s made of the same stuff, as is the church in front. In fact, much of everything is made of it here, new build homes have a hole hacked next to them in the ground and lumps of it fetched out to be carved and slotted in place. Having said that, the new builds all seem to be concrete and brick frames, the Maniot stone masons reduced to master cladding fixers. We&#8217;re at Mezapos, in the Deep Mani (N36.54220 E22.39079).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02558-1024x352.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-10217 size-large aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02558-1024x352-1024x352.jpg\" alt=\"DSC02558 (1024x352)\" width=\"620\" height=\"213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02558-1024x352.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02558-1024x352-300x103.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was a serious bug day for us.

A young German couple had arrived yesterday afternoon, on a six month trip through Italy, Greece, Turkey and back up roughly the same route we plan. We waved them goodbye, popped Dave in first and huffed an puffed him back up the hill and onto the plain above.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There&#8217;s no water on the Mani&#8217;. Not sure who told us this, but the words echoed in our heads as we were out of drinking water, and our washing tank was down to a quarter full. The heat and dryness had us in hunt the tap mode, usually an easy game as it seems when running water finally made it here the parched locals went bonkers installing taps everywhere. You guessed it though, we couldn&#8217;t find one which worked. Eventually we cheekily used one outside someone&#8217;s house, grabbing a few litres before speeding (hah!) off in Dave.<\/p>\n<p>Mezapos was the next stop we knew of one the way south, only a few more miles through the countryside, which is gradually turning to scrub, the olive trees are tiny things compared with those further north. The advice from other motorhome folks is often\u00a0indispensable, &#8216;you can make it through the village, it&#8217;s a bit narrow at times, but there&#8217;s a car park at the end where you can stay and turn&#8217;. On the entrance to the town I kept thinking of these words, as frankly I was in need of a brown paper bag and deep breathing exercises!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10222\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02507.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10222\" class=\"wp-image-10222\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02507.jpg\" alt=\"DSC02507\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02507.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02507-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02507-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02507-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10222\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mezapos &#8211; the wide bit :).<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_10223\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02509.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10223\" class=\"wp-image-10223\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02509.jpg\" alt=\"DSC02509\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02509.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02509-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02509-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02509-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10223\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Turned out to be OK.

On the other side, the limestone is like Aero, the most inaccessible holes were called\u00a0thyrides, the same name used for safety deposit boxes, and were used by the pirates to stash their treasure. Apparently, we&#8217;ve not been over there as it&#8217;s miles away and Mezapos is a place for lolling and kipping these days.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10216\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02546-1024x400.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10216\" class=\"wp-image-10216 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02546-1024x400-1024x400.jpg\" alt=\"DSC02546 (1024x400)\" width=\"620\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02546-1024x400.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02546-1024x400-300x117.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10216\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We did make it out for a quick walk, and I&#8217;ve swum around the bay, but apart from that it&#8217;s a place for lolling and kipping.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>There&#8217;s not much here, a ramshackle collection of new-build faux tower houses, ancient-looking white rendered homes and tumble-down stone houses.

We&#8217;ll repay him with a meal tonight. &#8216;What time?&#8217; he asked us. &#8216;9, tonight&#8217; we replied. Maybe we&#8217;re turning Greek already, we&#8217;d usually go for 7 or 8. A couple of fishing boats have turned up, relatively big things for around here with 3 man crews. I manned up a bit and went to see if I could buy a fish, following a local chap down to the boat. I stood alongside him, ignored, as he shouted back and forth to the fishermen. One stopped fixing nets, disappeared and came back clutching a huge Conger Eel, throwing it&#8217;s lifeless but still vicious form onto the quayside. I unmanned up and walked off. Later a small refrigerated van turned up and took the rest of the catch.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10225\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02555.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10225\" class=\"wp-image-10225\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/DSC02555.jpg\" alt=\"Our taverna for this evening.

That&#8217;s about it though &#8211; no sense of anything but welcome to us and building does continue around us.
