Day 7

We had a little lay in and got up at 8. Then after having breakfast we got ready to go to the town as we had a free morning. We went shopping for an hour as a group and then went for some frozen yogurt. We went to the beach - some of us swam in the sea whilst some of us just paddled. We bought a volleyball and a racket and ball set to play with on the beach. 

Julie and Jodie went to the fruit market with Rachael and Megan to stock up our kitchen whilst the others stayed in and had a bit of free time to shower (a few of us had a nap.)

We then made more posters in Greek which informed people how to get to the exhibition, then we hung them up around the area. Some went to the exhibition room and cleaned up ready for the festival. 

Once this was all done Liz, Jodie and Julie had a game for us to play. We all have been spilt up into groups - Libby and Lili - Naiomi and Rachael - Megan, Ruth and Hannah. Each group was given an egg to look after until Tuesday. Within the 20 minutes we were given them, Naiomi and Rachael had already dented their egg. 

In the late afternoon we set up for the festival again. We put out a lot of chairs and brushed the paths ready for visitors in the evening. 

For dinner we had Paella - it was yummy! 

Tonight we sat out by the stage. A prisoner who was once held in the exact bedroom we are staying in came and spoke on stage. Giovanna translated for us and explained that he had never been back here since because he was scared to, however, now he felt it was important to come here to tell his story. Also we listened to a documentary from the famous musician who was also held in this prison. The music went on all night but this didn't stop some of us from sleeping, we were very tired!
