So the roadtrip, we decided to do our tour of the island in one day so for this reason it wasn’t a tour of the island as such but certainly took us to the north and two of the best places Gwen wanted to show us Fiskado and Assos. We started however in Poros for breakfast and found a sea front restaurant that was open at 10am. After being pointed towards the caged parrot by the restaurant owner we spent the next hour listening to the parrot talk, make kissing noises and laugh. Cute. Believe me I had no issue with the parrot, but the incessant way the owner kept talking to the parrot in order to make it talk really wasn’t that fun. She would talk to the parrot in the same pitch and tone as a parrot but looking back to us all wide and crazy eyed in anticipation of our glee at the performance. Seriously this went on for an hour. Now my Mum has one of those irrational fears of anything birdy, feathers, flapping the actual birds. Imagine her pleasure when this appeared from behind her after our meal was finished. That look on her face was frozen for the next 2 and a half hours.
