This photo was taken in our lovely hotel on Paros. The couple are Hans - a retired bus driver from Leiden and Elly - whose job I have forgotten. I should have blogged details earlier. Lovely people to share a meal with, talk about familes and friends far away and the enjoyment of discovering new places.
I appreciate the way people drop their normal reserve when talking to strangers on holiday. Tess in particular has enjoyed talking to plenty of strangers this trip and we have shared meals with a few of them as well. There was Peter and Daphne in Bury St Edmund's, Elly and Hans from Leiden in Holland above, Sasha and Tassos who came to Tess's rescue when she fell on Mykonos and yesterday on the cruise, Jules, a GP who inspected her bruises and Marie from England on the donkey. All very friendly and necessary even on a smooth trip to remind you of home and sharing the company of friends.
After almost 7 weeks on tour, we are ready for the long trip home - we sail at 1700 tomorrow for Piraeus
