Bye Bye Naxos



Comment for this photo: Use your imagination!

P.S. Look at the smile on D's face!



And yet others get the ol' baker. This is the same baker that we met 4 years ago. He is still grumpy but I can make him smile.


So every evening we go for our early evening cocktail which happens to be ouzo. And every evening we go to the Captains Cafe which is right across the road from the port. We sit and watch the ferries come in and go out and watch the old Greeks fish off the end of the pier. Tonight, our last night, we called our waiter Vassilis over to chat. He and his twin brother Nikos run the family bar. They work every day from early morning to late evening from April until October with ne'er a day off, and they don't complain. In fact, they like it. AND he is the same person that served us 4 years ago AND he remembered me to the point of the fact I've changed the colour of my hair (I now have foils)! We said our good-byes, the brothers trying to get us to ensure we will visit them again in one year's time.
On the way home we stopped into our patisserie - Rendezvous. Our cute little server from 4 years ago is not there anymore but a jolly old fellow (whom I believe may be the owner) has served us many many times this year. He was also sorry to hear we would leave the next day.
Perhaps we should stay!
