Volos Lunch Stop & Agria
19 OCTOBER 2012 - (Cont’d) - We arrive in Volos, not a overally pretty city. We found a park near the water and get our picnic box out. We park our bums on a park bench and prepare our ham, cheese and tomato baguettes. Next minute we get a visit from two elderly ladies, talking Greek and we had no idea what they wanted. We thought either she wants some of our lunch or money or she is a bible basher. We said we speak English, she says ...

I didn't know how to eat it, really, so I kind of nibbled around the bones and the head and the tail, and ...
A ferry across the water
... me the same creepy smile- maybe I am too harsh but it is just not my bag giving pensioners thrills. Just when I thought I had embarrassed myself enough I was pulled up again for the couples dance. I am not sure how this was engineered but I ended up with the lovely, but very young, waiter Jimmy. Where I come from the kind of dance they tried to get you to do is either illegal, or you would charge for it. Needless to say I wiggled around a bit, but could not bring myself to totally ...
