Naxos

Have arrived at Naxos after short ferry trip from Paros and the weather is devine. We all had lunch in a delightful little restaurant on the town square. Guess what???? When we arrived the transfer bus couldn't fit all of us in and I ended up left over so the hotel meet and greet guy took me on the back of his scooter to our hotel!!! We scooted past the bus and through the windy streets of the town, waving and calling to town people as we flew past!!! Amazing experience to begin our next island.

Tonight we go to a castle and are guests of a count for a dinner and show and photo opportunity looking down over the town below. This hotel has a gorgeous pool and free internet so hopefully I can get more emails and blogs off now without a hitch. The internet has been a rare occasion and very unreliable until now.

The whole tour group are getting along really well, must be the common interest we share. A few of us 'young' girls have been called the naughty girls (don't know where THAT came from) and the gin and tonics are going down a treat at lunchtime, although it is hard to pay attention to Nick's workshops in the afternoon!!!! That could be why....Leith and I absconded from a culture workshop to catch the local bus to the next town and get in a bit of shopping. Missed the wine tasting too, but the day was good value and fun.

I am putting photos on facebook under Greece because having trouble uploading them to this blog. Off to Mykonos today and Delos for some ruins and a boat trip. Hope I don't get sick!

  1. Hi Jane,
    It's Paniyiri Festival here this weekend but it's not quite the same really. How envious we all are. Love the photos. Hope the scooter ride happened before the gin and tonics.
