Lahania 1998

Christian 2.8.98

Day 38 - Today we went to see our relatives in a town called Lahania.  We saw where my grandpa was born and lived until he was sixteen before leaving to go to Australia because there was not anything to spend your money on, that he was making.  We saw 2 of seven brothers that he had.  They built the little town because of the spring that ran through it.  We also had a swim in the ocean that was really nice and sandy.  We hired a pedal boat for an hour.  Day 39 - We went to a playstation shop.  What you do is hire a playstation for an hour and play any games you want.  After that we met with dad's cousin and her daughter who was 13 years old.  They took us everywhere in the city, up on a mountain with a view, to a church and a park.  We met with other relatives who grew and sold their capusey which translated is a watermelon.  We ate half a watermelon each, it was nice.

Day 38 - Today we drove to Lahania and on the way we stopped off at Lindos and had breakfast and the food was nice.  Then we looked at the shops and went to the church and the paintings were nice.  We drove to Lahania and when we got there we had a look at where our grandpa used to walk down to plough the fields.  We met our relatives and they were really excited to see us.  Then we went to the beach but it was all rocky and when we got back they had cooked a big meal.  On the way home we stopped at a sandy beach (Lindos) and hired a boat out.  When we got back home we got picked up by Sula, who is dad's cousin and we went to Faliraki and went on a Virtual Ride and it was really fun and the food was nice.  Day 39 - We met dad's aunty who was selling watermelons on the side of the road.  Then we went to the old city with Sula and Sambikou and then back to the hotel.
