Some last minute observations about Greece -
Greeks love concrete, track suits and smoking. And talking on the phone on buses. They love frappes (called freddos in case you're thinking of getting one - I'm had my first and second one this afternoon two weeks too late). The standard of architecture has plummeted over the past two thousand years. Smoking. They still have loads of marble so unfortunately all the new buildings will be here for quite a while. The public transport timetables seem to change daily. And smoking.
Our favourite things -
Half litres jugs of wine for 3 euros. All the pita bread and meat you can eat. Lettuce salad. The amount of stuff you get for free with drinks. Beautiful, amazing old buildings, walls, paths, stairs nearly everywhere you go. How good people are at English. Little old men with walking sticks and hats, little old ladies with baskets and scarves.
Thanks Greece, it's been fun. And yes I feel alright again thank you.
It has been so much fun. Except for today when the ferry is 2 hours late- make that 3 ...
Things I really loved about Greece:
The people friendly and accommodating.
Things are hard here you can see that but life is going on as I did for a time far greater than our two little countries.
Beauty rises above the garbage and the piles if concrete.
Breakfast of yogurt and coffee and figs(yum)
Greece is a lovely country you should all come and see it.
Goodbye Greece and thanks for having us to stay.
