She has asked us, do we are going on the holiday in her native village Gardelades. We did not were going to, because we did not hear nothing on the holiday  and afterwards recently, several days back, we have were on the local holiday down, ashore bay of Paleokastritsa. We have knew that our Russian tourists Mr.&Mrs. Ulianov had a car in the rent, but we couldn't find them. Already late, at 11 hours, we have got jeep "Samurai" from  John, and have went in Gardelades.  Feast was on the great field on the fringe sowed and had the name "Fiesta" on Spanish manner.
