A Grecian Yearn: Day 10 - Free day and BBQ put on by the MEN!

This was a free day with many of the group bussing it to town for shopping. A couple of groups hired cars and went looking for leather shops or village tavernas. Geoff , Judy, Frances and Anthony claimed they had their best food and wine – all ingredients organic and locally grown - in Greece at one such place with traffic passing only feet from their table and at a cost of only 9 euros per head.

Kevin and Marli and their group also had a fabulous meal in town but theirs cost 35 euros per head. There were no prices on the menu (always a bad sign!) and they forgot to ask! L

The boys - Malcolm, Kevin, Gordon and Doug went to the butcher and had a lamb chopped up for a poolside barbecue that night. It was going to be a case of either “too many cooks spoil the broth” or “many hands make light work” but the cooking was spot on with everyone enjoying the meal which generally speaking was washed down with copious quantities of Greek red wine. However, there was one slight hiccup – they had asked for ‘lamb chops’, but instead got ‘chopped lamb’! As a consequence, some of the cuts of meat were difficult to identify – but it didn’t matter – the meat tasted wonderful and was complemented by a sensational Greek salad made by Sarah.
