Previous problems all fixed

Huge delay in updating the blog as I found that if we were not having problems, I wasn’t writing anything and since we have settled in no one would want to read about normal daily life! However I thought that it is time to give an update on previous problems which I am pleased to say, are no longer J

Electricity – after 3 weeks of no electric in August (good in terms of at least you could bbq everything and were certainly warm enough, bad in terms of no aircon as it was more than warm enough and having to go to the supermarket all the time to get ice to keep the milk cool!!!) we eventually got a meter after a couple of trips to Rhodes meeting lawyers, so we are now connected in totality.

Water meter – this was actually a short process in the end, after paying the man at the town hall and not adding to the stamp collection (couldn’t believe it!!!) and only one follow up trip to the town hall to see if they still remembered us, the plumber turned up next door to connect their meter so Paul cornered him and managed to get ours done.

This only left us with one other thing to really do and that was get the Greek plates for the car which we did all of the paperwork for in England. Paul went along to the KTEO (their MOT place) today and after being sent on to customs he was told that he isn’t aloud to import his car as it is a light goods vehicle (Navara!!!) so after a chat about it and lots of ranting and paper work reading, they are going to phone Athens and come back to us in the next week to see if we can import it or not!! So fingers crossed or it will be drive back to the UK and sell it!!

So that’s a problems fixed and updated page and I’ll write another bit with the daily stuff!
