Finally arrived. Dropped off
luggage and are having dinner at the Red Lion restaurant where we also ate on the last
night |
 |
...But it doesn't stop them from
opening restaurants every 100 feet. |
 |
Helena's first walk down to the
'strip' on day 1 in Naxos. Going to change Crowns to Drachmers. |
 |
I thought this would make a good
picture. The woman in the window didn't. |
 |
Just amusing ourselves with the
talking 'parrot' while waiting for the others. Going out to eat. It's almost all we do. |
 |
Just a little scenery. |
 |
Appetizing at Poppi's. Helena
isn't angry, she's just too busy eating her Greek Salad to smile. |
 |
Endless stairs working their way
up into the old city. At least Erik has it easy. |
 |
The Naxos Mass Transit
Authority. |
 |
Churches, shrines and temples
everywhere. |
 |
Stopping off at the Club Med for
Long Island Ice Teas and Pina Coladas. |
 |
We've worked our way quite high
up. An unobstructed view towards Apollo's temple. |
 |
Just about the last
bar/restaurant on the strip looking toward Apollo's temple. Helena and Doris visit the
temple while we others went to Kalantou. |
 |
What happened to make us toast
here. (The beginning of that surprise I was telling you about.) |
 |
Erik gets his lunch while Helena
and Doris wait for theirs. |
 |
What's happening here? |
 |
Early evening view up towards
the older parts of the city. |
 |
And why is she kissing me? |
 |
Look well and you can see parts
of the old city erected by the Venetians during the 14th century. |
 |
You got it. I finally proposed.
No date set yet, but one of these days.
Date: Sep 19, 1999
Place: The balcony of the Flamingo restaurant overlooking the ocean. |
 |
The entrance to the Old Market.
I'd hate to have to move furniture through these tight passages. |
 |
You see how excited Erik is
about the whole thing. |
 |
...And they get even tighter. |
 |
6:45 on the dock on the last
morning. Waiting for the ferry to take us to Santorini and the trip home to Sweden. |
