I got up around 10:45 and ran over to get breakfast at the hotel before they stopped serving at 11am. Steve stayed in bed. Steve B's mom joined me for breakfast shortly after I got there and Steve showed up about 11:15 and was denied breakfast, he was not happy! We had all decided the day before that we should go to the Akrotiri Bar area of the beach because they had lounge chairs with padded cushions and they were definitely the busiest. Alice and Magda had gone to the beach early as they were up early. We decided to drive down to the beach because it was easier with the floats and we wanted to bring the camera today. Steve B. got some photos of me and Steve out on the float. Steve and I ... read more

Amazingly, we woke up at 10:30am.

We were up last night until about 2:30am packing for Pefkochori and once again it is positively sweltering! Between the heat and the stupid dog barking we got no sleep. We had to get up (from tossing and turning, not sleeping) at 6:30am to get to Grevena by 7:30 to meet up with Steve B. and Susie and pick up the Vitara. Steve B. can only drive the Vitara when Magda or Pappous is in the car as this is the way it works in Greece . Magda can drive the Vitara because Pappous went to the Greek Embassy in Boston to get some special permit. Otherwise only the owner can drive the car. Pappous was going to take a taxi back to Megaro. We set off for Pefkochori after grabbing some tiropitas and ham and ... read more
