Paros

We made it to Paros. This is the island that is next door to our favourite Naxos. We just took the long way around. Above is the Church of 100 doors. Ninety nine are visible. The 100th door is hidden and will be made visible when Istanbul comes once again under Greek rule. (we weren't suppose to take photos in this church, so I hope nothing untoward happens to me for this!)

Cats, cats, cats and more cats. Where ever you look and especially wherever you eat there are cats. One tried to hop up on our table the other day to help himself. They seem to be a way of life here.


Order a cup of coffee and you never know what you'll get. This was our cup of Greek coffee during our rest stop this morning.


Get off the ferry in Paros and this windmill is the first thing you will see. It is in the middle of the roundabout. It holds the tourist info office which as this time of year is closed. Mid October is the time all the shops, restaurants, tavernas and hotels are on the down-swing. A good time to be saying good-bye to a lovely island.
Next stop, London, England. (Culture shock?? maybe)

I think the abundance of cats there would mean that they are FERAL cats. Jan and Terry brought one into their home and he wreaked havoc! MJT
