After a brief siesta to recover from the exertions of the morning it was ouzo-hunting time again and an opportunity to do some more socialising with our companions. We ended up in a restaurant where lots of the locals were having a night out as part of their Carnival celebrations prior to the abstinence of Lent, which falls later in the Greek Orthodox calendar than in the Roman one.
A live trio provided some fine music ranging from modern Greek ballads to traditional rembetika on guitar ands two bouzoukis, while Bob and friends, from California, provided the craic, an Irish word for chat and charm. It was a long day, but a very enjoyable one. (Karmanie)
