A Night on the Town

One evening, while Eddie was on boat watching duties, Yorkie and I decided to go on a taverna crawl in search of some excellent Greek food and drink. We'll tell about some of the culinary delights in a future post, for now we're going to tell you about the entertainment side of the evening.

While we were taverna window shopping, getting a feel for where was best to eat, we kept an eye open for the beatiful sunset and some of the harbour side sights. We found our minders and their friends all having their photo taken with a statue of a green man wielding a green paint brush. We thought it a bit strange but as everyone was taking photos we decided it must be something important, so took our own photo once the crowds had moved on.


We bumped into our minders again a bit later and as the food looked rather good, we joined them. As we were chomping our way through our food some Greek music started playing and some of the Greeks started dancing. We thought this was rather good and were very pleased to be experiencing some local culture. Then our minders and their friends went and ruined what was a very authentic experience, by joining in. It then quickly became the opposite of authentic! We were very embarrassed.


We edged forward for a closer look but we really couldn't understand why they couldn't leave it to the experts. I guess bear psychology is a quite a bit different to human psychology and we still have a lot to understand.

We were about to leave when we spotted Jono and Stu of the lead crew doing something far more sensible than Greek dancing. They were at the bar watching the European football match that was on. We hurried over to join them and were quickly in our element being macho bears and doing a bit of male bonding.


Far more to our taste than Greek dancing.

Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx
