Day: October 5, 2014

Out and about Sunday morning in the port of Pireaus.  I’m happy to take my obligatory shot of a bench and a fountain.

The old men are also out and about – wonder what part of the world they were putting right?

Fish for sale – fresh from the boat!

Hope they got a bargain.

The rowing club was open and the girls were out on the water.  No one else was about tho’

‘Cept for the girl opening up the ice cream stall – I wonder how many little ones will get a go on the merry go round?

Even the local police are taking their time this morning!

It’s up this hill to our ‘little’ hotel which I’ll tell you about another day.  It could be a post on its own lol

The next stage of our trip is about to start.  All aboard this afternoon!  Won’t be many posts as access will be limited.  Will talk to you another day.

 

We had our last dinner together in street – in a little village in Cyprus called Kouklia.  In a village square filled with taverns that come alive after dark.

A square with a church – the heart of the village

A square where you watch out for the cars passing by – even when you are eating

 A village that has some resident stray cats – caught desexed then released.  Cats who think nothing of playing in the square after dark.  Cats who do earn their keep ridding  the village of vermin.

Cats who come to say hello – look longingly in the hope to get a tidbit from your plate.  Cats who know their place and move away at the brush of a hand.

Yes it was a fun way to have our last dinner together – a beautiful evening under the stars at Gabriel’s Tavern
