Maria and Vagelis left by bus

I watched Maria and Vagelis as they boarded the bus for Paleochora this morning just as I was returning from the supermarket having bought bread and dog meat. They were busily packing up earlier and gave me some of the stuff they were unable to take with them including some aluminium folding chairs. They are only cheap ones and are already displaying signs of bum-fatigue, but they will do for agile visitors. You need to be agile as they are extremely low.
