A Half Day In Akrasi

By Jay

This morning we went to AKRASI for half a day. On the way we heard a clatter in the car and a man stopped and said something. Mum thought he was saying we couldn't drive because it was too sandy, but he said that the hubcap came off the wheel. Papou had to walk back to find it and it wasn't far away. When we got into the little village it was awesome. There were lots of houses but there weren't many people walking around because in the village they don't have wide roads or any foot paths. When we found somewhere to have lunch we got out and every one was staring at us because we weren't locals and we turned up in a little mini bus. We walked in and sat down. Dad and I went to get the tavli (backgammon) and Luca and I played. We had a close game but I just bet him by 1.

There were lots of people there and Papou knew a man called Peter who looks after Michael and Georgie Aspros's house.

After about 15 minutes Mum, Dad and I went for a little walk. There were lots of cats around. 

When we got back we saw the man cooking our souvlaki and kebabs on the outside bqq for lunch. They looked really nice.

On the way back to Plomari we went the wrong way down a one way street. We met a car so we had to back up but there were these little children behind us so we had to wait. Another car came behind us so they backed up into a little place. There was some more room so we backed up too. Everyone was crowding trying to help us, but then they started shouting and the car that wasn't letting us pass went through and shouted at us too!
