Panyiri is a Greek Festival held in Brisbane and this year we met up with a couple of long time friends to go to it....
We spent a couple of hours in the morning and had an early picnic lunch at a park .... a lovely well designed garden in the middle of the high rise buildings....
This beauty was enjoying the gorgeous weather.....
This area used to be where they serviced rail carriages I believe....
By the time we moved on to Panyiri we were quite thirsty........
The Greek Orthodox Church was open for us to see - lovely paintings of the life of Christ all around
... and of course a lot of lovely Greek treats.... this home made Baklava went down a treat - so did the honey puffs....
Of course there was a Tavern....
.... and plenty of wonderful food .....
... Zorba dancing competitions.....
.... Ouzo cocktails....
... Haloumi cheese.....
The following day was more gentle with a walk down South Bank, a visit to the markets and some lunch and boutique beers .....
I like having some hand work for the car trips so I knitted ... this wash cloth is coming together nicely .... actually on the way back I just slept so this is only one ways worth of work!
Good fun, good friends, good food .....
Righto, Gotto Go - back to real life and some work to do.....
