Goodbye Greece you are amazing!

Goodbye Greece It's been amazing!

I could live in Greece. No matter where we've travelled, inland, up a mountain, along the coast, the landscapes and Greek 'Kefi' have been outstanding, not to mention the Greek hospitality which is second to none in this World. Then crystal clear waters and the bluest skies ever. Little wonder artists come in their droves and stay. I've met many Greeks and they are suffering. It is not true that they are lazy. Most of the family men we've met work two jobs to make ends meet and still are generous beyond belief - particularly in spirit - nothing is too much trouble even if you're a xeno! It's wonderful to watch hordes of teenagers walking along TALKING to one another - not glued to ipads or whatever device is commonplace elsewhere. They are blessed kids indeed :O)

There are still meadows full of wildflowers and squillions of fireflies every night. In Greece I rediscovered how tomatoes and lemons should taste. We've eaten the healthiest diet. Greek yoghurt with local honey and walnuts is the best breakfast ever. A pre-digestive of Ouzo, a glass of Robola or a glass of Metaxa, we've raised our glasses to them all.

Now add their History ( Ancient and Modern) No-one has truly conquered her for long.
Greeks are loud, they can become quite rude,  but they are genuine, passionate, easy going, warm, creative, interesting people that you would love to have as friends. Greeks seem to live every day as if it is their last and that’s why I would love to join them!

 Here we are moored stern to in Preveza. Reminded me of Fowey about fifty years ago. Fishing boats, people know one another, people greet one another and pace of life is slooooooow.
