Naxos

The last place we visited was Naxos which is another Greek Island. To get there you can fly in a small plane and takes half an hour or take the ferry and that takes six hours. We decided to fly out and get the ferry back. Maggie was very keen to get there to see her friend Ave who lives there. Ave grew up in Runanga and went to Runanga School too. She is also a friend of Mrs Perry.

Naxos is a very pretty place with lots of sandy beaches for swimming and very blue water. Ave lives 20 steps from the beach so we got to swim every day. The water was warm and so were the days even though it is autumn now.

Ave has a dog called Teah. We made very good friends with her.

Ave and Maggie spent a lot of time talking and they had lots of laughs. Stephen and Theopolis had more trouble talking because Stephen can only speak English and Theopolis can only speak Greek. They could still enjoyed meal times together.

Ave's daughter, Sylvia, took us to a special school she works at. We got to visit two classrooms and meet the children. They speak Greek but are learning English. We taught them a song in English.

We went to see the Rock Shark which is on the beach not far away. It was a bit scary so we sat well back to get our photo taken.

It was sad to say goodbye to everyone as we had had such a good time. The trip on the ferry was fun. We played games and watched all that was going on.
