More photo opportunities while waiting (and waiting) for the food.
To pass the time, Fair Cop set up a sweepstake on when the food would arrive.
They were not expecting such a large group at lunch time.
In fact we seemed to be the only customers this Sunday.
A chance to chat
The (fancy, square) plates arrive. Things were looking up.
The food arrives - their version of a Samosa - quite good!
Hamish digs in
Another dish -plus- Naan bread
Eating underway
After a number of other dishes, a very sweet dessert
The restaurant's business card - which is under new ownership.
Next time we should call in advance now we have the phone number.
(Also we were given the number: 22946-56964)
The directions to the hash - for the record |
There is an organized 10km run through the Schinias forest and wetland. Some hashers may have registered and want to do this run which starts from the Moraitis Sports centre / beach at 10.30 am (see details and run map below).

Route of the official run - through the forest and then through the wetlands, and back to the Moraitis centre.

Strangely, another officially-organized run took place the previous day (Saturday) in the same area:
