So we finally have managed to post some pics after quite a lot of frustration!!!
The crazy image of five incredibly attired women to the right would be our fantastic team! This was taken funnily enough whilst sorting a massive storeroom of clothes for the clothing give away! Some items we just couldn't resist!! (obviously we didn't expect our dignified refugee friends to wear them seriously!) But we had great fun with our fashion disaster parade!!
It was awesome to see the women and children so excited today when we gave out the clothes! It was ironic really as the crazy women in Athens were also shopping as the sales started this week - you just can't change the heart of a women no matter what country you come from!

The pic to the left is a few of us on top of the hill that Paul preached on - you can see the main Acropolis buildings behind us! We visited this awesome landmark on Sunday!
On Monday we went to Old Korith an man it was an adventure. Being crazy aussie ladies we thought we would hike up to the fort on top of a massive hill behind Old Korith! After a rather hot and long hike - it was 20 degrees and a 4km walk up the steepest cliff, ever we made it and enjoyed spectalcular views of Korith!! Before we embarked on our journey down we thought we better stretch and only made it 50m to the local cafe (shack on a hill) which offered us a wide variety of French potato sticks eg chips and frozen Greek Salad for quite a many euro!! We foundly named our lunch FAT STICKS!!
After hiking down we found Old Korith was closed an observed the ruins through the barbed wire fence!!
So we will leave it there as we start our celebration for Australia Day two days early at the Cotterells (the fantastic Aussie family over here) - we are all zinked up and tattoed!!
Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi!
Rock on!!
Mels:-)
