Definitely our day. Only four stops, to the Garnet Amphibolite above the Chromion Museum, Xerolivado, the sole in the Zavordhas region, and the footbridge section in the Aliakmon River Valley.
Most people enjoyed the sole above Chromion, although some complained that the garnets weren't large enough. Just can't please some people. The rest of the day went pretty much without a hitch, although it was well after 4 by the time we got lunch. But what a lunch.
The Zavordhas Guesthouse, only about 10 minutes from the footbridge was a welcome site for our tired eyes (and my tired feet, or at least it would have been if my feet had eyes). Two cars sat with their bonnets open and two wires trailing from the battery. These were attached to two motors, in turn attached to two spits on which turned two whole lambs (prepared by our wonderful hosts at Chromion, Yianni and Lola). Salads, chicken wings, wine and tsipouro completed the ensemble, and much fun was had by all.
There was no need for dinner back at Chromion, so Annie had organised sweets from Zoom - huge baklava and icecream cake for everyone. It was too much sugar for me, and I forwarded the slides for the talks with more than a little lethargy creeping into my veins.
