Dancing Shoes Should be Worn!

Hello friends, Eddie back with you again after my spell of boat minding. I have to say that although George & Yorkie are very dear friends of mine, on this occasion I don't agree with them. I'm talking about their feeling that Greek dancing should be left to the experts, as reported in their last post.

Well, a few days after George & Yorkie's night on the town, I was out and about on the island of Meganisi and had a meal with our minders and friends at a taverna where there was Greek dancing. Once the owner had finshed waiting on tables, he, and his brother the cook, took to the floor and impressed us all with a very accomplished piece of dancing. They then encouraged us all to join in, and I always say, that if someone is friendly and encouraging to you, then you should be the same back.


I therefore wasted no time in joining in and boy did I have fun. There is certainly a lot of truth in that saying, 'if you can't beat them join them'. My efforts and those of the others who joined in certainly brought a lot of smiles to the faces of the local Greeks. Getting us to dance was also good for their business as we worked up such a thirst by being so energetic that we all put in orders for lots more drinks.

In the meantime, were George & Yorkie converted? When I looked round for them I found them totally absorbed by the local wine.


Mind you I can't say really blame them as it was rather good (and very cheap!)

Lots of love Eddie xxx
