The Royal Wedding!

Another womderful day in Kritsa - but it's raining!  Yesterday was wonderfully warm - hats and t-shirts weather, but today it's back to winter. We woke to the raining pouring down, and did the long dash to the car through the river torent down the laneways.  Off to Yia Yia and Bapou's, then we decided to take a wet weather drive to the Lato ruins, via a narrow road up the mountains.  It was closed, but the view over the mountain was worthwhile. 

I decided we would heed my spirit of adventure and took a right hand turn towards an unknown village through the mountains.  We didn't make it as far as the village - car sickness and a general feeling of panic (apart from Yia Yia) among my passengers forced me back after a hair-raising ride along cliff faces.
We then went to an historic church built in the 1300s just out of town. Across the road was a taverna advertising souvlaki, tzaiziki and chips for 5 euros - as it was cold and raining, it sounded divine so off we went for lunch.  We were there just in time for the royal wedding, so I asked if we could watch the BBC on the TV.  We enjoyed a delightful lunch washed down with local red wine as William and Kate took their vowels.  Something to remember!

We returned to the apartments so Sophia could sleep, and then we spent the next few hours watching the wedding in the apartment restaurant TV, drinking red wine, and a little raki (given to us as a gift from the restaurant we've dined at for the last 2 nights).  I think I'm beginning to appreciate this local specialty. A lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon!

God Save the Queen!
