THE CIRCLE
More mulled wine with mince pies & some egg nog, and then some brandy and then...
RA Tender Vittles opens the circle with a song
Then it's time for the hare's down-down
Mountain Goat is back for Christmas
Great to see Amawanka again
CU Chris doesn't have a hash name.
Now he's half French and half Greek i.e. a Freek
And there's the song Le Freak by the group Chic...

Hence the hash name Le Freek Non Chic
Always answer with "I am not worthy"
In the name of Gisbert - you shall be henceforth known as Le Freek Non Chic
Red Hot Melons
Another one for Fair Cop
Ending the circle with Swing Low Sweet Chariot
Violet follows the moves
LUNCH AT THE TAVERNA
The taverna has a pretty well-kept garden

Interesting taverna with many old items to view

MisDirections:
Public Transport:
Actually, quite possible.
From Doukissis Plakentias Station, the 319 bus leaves at 10:25 on a Sunday morning, and takes you all around the shopping centre. It takes about 20 minutes, and you want the second stop, at Designer Outlet. If you miss it, the next is about 10:50.
The Metro to Doukissis Plakentias is the BLUE line from Piraeus, runs every 7 minutes, and takes about 20 from Central Athens on a good day.
Full details at www.stasy.gr and www.oasa.gr
From Ymittos Ringroad:
Drive towards Rafina, and at the end of Attiki Odos, turn right at the red light, towards Spata. Drive 0.8 km and turn right at the Designer Outlet sign.
From Elefsina:
Take exit 16P for Rafina, and at the end of Attiki Odos, turn right at the red light, towards Spata. Drive 0.8km and turn right at the Designer Outlet sign.
From the Airport:
Take exit 18, and turn right towards Spata. Follow the road and when you arrive at a small roundabout, continue straight onto Platonos street.
At the red light, go straight ahead, pass the local cemetery and after 1km turn left at the Designer Outlet sign.
MEET POINT:
We meet at the farthest end of the car park, as far as possible from the security guards. The road only goes around the shopping centre, so you cannot go too far.
It is the last Sunday shopping before Christmas. Remember to allow time for traffic around Smart Park!
IF LOST - YOU ARE LOST - either go home or call someone who cares…
