Un-guided Poros

                                         
My niece and nephew went on their own explorations, up to the clock tower for the best view of the yacht harbour and the crowded houses of the old town, finding a taverna off the beaten tourist track, eating gelato and asking for freddo capuccini 'skase' instead of 'sketo'.  Sometimes a little knowledge is too much.  They asked for a capuccino and told the waitress to shut up instead of asking for a plain capuccino with no milk or sugar.


                                                     

              Through the back streets  on our way to the wine bar

Bottles of fine wine imbibed in a greek alleyway

The bottles were 15 euros each but well worth the money

Paid for by NZ relations and very very much appreciated

It is not often (never) that we drink anything other than Vaso's wine or some other local plonk at 2.50 euros for a 1 1/2 litre plastic bottle fill-up

We drank fruity white, fragrant rose, a full bodied red and a bottle of the latest blue which wasn't worth the trouble

The wine is accompanied by a plate of cold cuts, cheese and bread sticks, hardly enough to fill up the stomach

Small children  were sent to bring souvlaki 

and some (one) sang old NZ tv ads and shouldn't have been allowed to drive home

Moi?  Never....

Sunset over the 'Sleeping Lady' and the bay of Poros

Another very pleasant Poros experience is sunset on our old roof-terrace, now where my daughter and family live.    My sister-in-law lives underneath, her two sons right next door over the few metres of communal yard.  Over the wall is an aunt and just up the steps a few other relations.

The outline of the hills opposite seem to form a lady sleeping on her back with her knees up.  You can't quite see her in this photo

Their stay was only a week but we managed to immerse them in family and greek life .

It was goodbye but not for long

The rellies came back .....

Note of thanks to all close rellies in both Australia and NZ.
Your visits and your generosity enable us to go places and enjoy taste experiences that would normally be unavailable to us because of this darn crisis.
Love you bros
