from
Greece
Latest news .from Phyllis
Hinz and Lamont Mackay,
fromerly from the kitchen of
Huron Hotel, Dublin, was
from Munich Germany
where 'they celebrated
Oktobeffest. Now they have
travelled to Insbruck, Austria
where there was snow on the
peaks of the AlpS .and at one
point snow on the roadside. '
Them the girls drove through
northern Italy and then to
Yugoslavia where the
countryside and people
showed a dr ,astic change.
People arc poor . and the
houses are rundown - the
people were harvesting corn
and hay by hand to be,hung
up 'to dry. The women were
carrying heavy loads-on their
heads'. Next stop was in
Zagreb and Dubrovnik and
then they took a back road
through the mountains
around Ivangrad. It was 90
k:m. of a bad road and it was
impossible to get the van out
of second gear. At this point
the girls were missing good
home-cooked German food
and were eating canned
meats.
When they L,arrived„„,,in.
Thessoloviki, Greece they
celebrated by having tasty
Greek salads and Greek
wine. The Greeks add resin
to wine to give it an unique
taste (absolutely awful). The
liquor in Greece has a licorice
flavour and is really very
easy to drink. Phylli s and
Lamont found the Greek
people very friendly, helpful
and generous. In Athens
they visited the "Parthenon"
on the AcropoliS which was
completed in 488 B.C. ai,rl
was completely intact until
1687 when a bomb was
thrown into gun powder that
the Turks had stored there.
Next stop Peloponnesus and
Argos and Kardainili - then
the Island of Corfu, spending
some time in the sunshine
leaving there to drive
through Italy.
Last year we learned to
drink toffee without sugar
stow if we wi
thout
only learn
t6drihk water without.toffee.
