That is a fact and so everybody was really happy, when they heard, that there will be finally seminar next week.
Seminar means meeting new people, playing many funny games, seeing Athens and of course party a lot.
So it was like a little shock when we heard it was only Seminar for the Volunteers of Orfeas Organisation and in Xylokastro, the village we know best.
Nevertheless we and the trainers kept in mind, that Party is an important part of this Seminar and after the first meeting, working and eating together, Elias and Filios spent some bottles of red and white wine, with the condition, that everybody has to appear at Seminar at nine thirty the next day.
We stayed in the big room of Hotel Apollon, drank some wine and hearing some really good music. Because of that soon many people were dancing in the middle of the circle of chairs. We had some excellent Turkish dance performance and a lot of enjoyment.
After 10 o’clock we need to chance the place, because of the noise a group of 26 people make.
We decided to party on at the beach behind of the forest, which protects the inhabitants of Xylokastro from our music. We found a table, where we could put on the great music station and which turned into the dance floor soon.
We “shut up and drank”, talked, danced and the last Volunteers left beach around 3 o’clock.
Of course the most people did not appear at nine thirty.
We thought about some punishment, which reached from getting no coffee until to get thrown out of the Seminar. For luck we do not have to realise these at Tuesday morning, even the drinking started at two o’clock, after the lunch. Some people drank about one bottle of Metaxe in the Siesta Time.
In the evening we continue the drinking and celebrating in the Turkish flat, near Hotel Miramare and later on the beach until 2 o’clock again.
Sounds quite excessive and to be honest, it is.
So this Seminar reaches from nine thirty a.m. to two p.m., and we are enjoying every minute.
