On Wednesday we arrived in Eressos.
Eressos is on the other side of the island
so it took about 3 hours to drive from Plomari to here but we stopped for lunch on
the way.
We are not right on the beach like the
other house but it only takes about 5 minutes to get there. We have also got a
swimming pool.
The village has got cobbled streets and cool houses with brightly coloured doors. There are really nice bakeries with yummy bread and croissants.
Yesterday we went to a river that runs into the sea. We saw hundreds of turtles and fish and we fed them with bread.
We don’t actually know if they have fathers day in Greece but we celebrated it any way.
We bought dad and Papou these things called worry beads and all the men sit in the cafes and play with them while they worry. We thought it would be funny to get them them.
Wow those turtles are amazing Ella! I think Matt needs some of those worry beads because his car won't go!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos Ella. LOVE the turtles!
ReplyDeleteThe worry beads sound interesting, what a great idea. Reminds me of a book we read a little while ago about worry dolls. A little boy had some worries, his Mum made him a worry doll out of a wooden peg......he told the doll all his worries, slept with the doll under his pillow and......in the morning he was free of all his worries!!! xxxx
WOW lots of turtles, wish I could see them!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ella, looks like so much fun. I wish I was there with you.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe there were so many turtles.

Hi Guys
