Photos of Poros Visit

The second lot of visitors have come and gone.  The weather stayed mainly fine, we enjoyed many morning coffees either gossiping down on the harbour or on our balcony catching up on family and reviewing the years gone by.

My brother and wife came through europe carrying heavy cases and have left with much the same weight I should think.  What did they drag all the way through Europe this time?  4 kilos of Raro drink mix and a kilo of marmite.  Oh aren't they wonderful.

What's Raro?  For us its the taste of NZ.  It comes as a powder in rather heavy bags, just add water and dream of home.  All kiwis know of it of course.  The drinks come in a myriad of flavours, orange, mandarin, mango, pineapple and mixes thereof. My girls love it.  

And what did they replace the weight with?  Good Greek olive oil.

On one of our farewell nights we went up to the taverna up the road.  Its under the grapevines and is perfect for small children.  They must have had a few rowdy greek children because there was a new sign up.  Only in Greek

Attention Parents

While enjoying our space please make sure your children do NOT -

- throw stones in the fountain

- steal the table numbers

- destroy the garden or pick the flowers

- smash the garden lights

- break the playground equipment

 

Our active kids did none of that!  They played hide and seek and had their photo taken on the hammock.  The hammock?  Yeh, the weight of 7 kids was too much and they did break that but it was end of season and it was at the end of it's life anyway.  Plus the owners are family!  Always helps

We all had our photos taken on my daughters rooftop as the sun went down.  

Contemplating Poros

And they all met up again with my greek sister in law

Here they are, my two sisters in law with hardly a word in common just enjoying each other's company

The obligatory family BBQ at our house

All organised and cooked by our traditional Greek

I think, I know, a good time was had by all

And they're coming back really soon
