While Western Europe was celebrating Easter, Hydra was in Lycra. The annual running races took place in windy conditions, but the light was bright and perfect for photographs, so I went down to the harbour on both days to take photos.
Anyone who came to Hydra for a quiet week-end before the noisy Easter celebrations begin will have been disappointed as speakers pumped out very loud music for most of the two days - I lost count of how many 'Final Countdowns' I heard. I hoped each would be the last but no.
Some competitors were more serious than others. I saw several running while chatting on their phones.
It didn't inspire me to put on my training shoes - just climbing back up the hill was enough exercise for my still dodgy ankle.
A very scenic venue indeed. Our city has running and bicycle races along the Pacific Ocean, also spectacular.
ReplyDeleteVery rough under foot though

ReplyDeleteYou need new knees
DeleteOhh, is this an event we need to add to our calendar? Bet the scenery is amazing. Although my first thought, looking at those photos was, wow, those cobbles! :) Give me a tarmac road or track any day.
ReplyDeleteThere were quite a few running on the verges

DeleteB to B, The scenery is gorgeous, but the very loud 'music' would have done me in. Good luck with the dodgy ankle.
