I am so glad they showed me this shortcut; it’s so much faster. I am already late; dinner will be served soon. My hotel is just around the corner. I will take a shower, dress up and will storm the buffet, like all the other tourists.
I just wish all these Greek houses wouldn’t look alike. I love to glance at them from the beach, but right now I am hoping to see some color that could guide me.
Almost there, “Nope, that isn’t it.
I am lost, will have to turn around. I will be late for dinner -again.

It’s fun. Thank you~!
Nice one! I don’t think turning around at this point is going to help though. Once stuck in the maze … 😉

I can’t tell you how often I had to turn around, because the shortcut didn’t work out. The alleys in Greece and Italy are very confusing.

I sympathize. Getting lost is a terrible feeling. It would be especially bad when you know you’ll be late for a meal. Good writing, NSL. 🙂 — Suzanne

I was born in Europe. Greece was just around the corner (like everything else),.

Oh dear, I hope something is left when she finally arrives. These alleys often do look the same.

Dear Happy Quitter,
I guess you could call this story a misdirection. Nicely done.

Greek backstreets are so often maze-like, as I once discovered! Great little story

Many cities in Europe have small alleys like that. I remember Naples, Italy so well. I could touch both sides when I stretched my hands out.
