Zaxaroplasteio

Greece has sweet shops. Everywhere.

Well, except for Samos.

We landed in Leros today and hit two wonderful zaharoplasteios after a dry spell.

Here we are at seaside enjoying our favorite drink, the Nesfrappe metrio me gala. Whizzed instant Nescafe with a little sugar and milk over ice at our favorite sweet shop.

They have diples (layered fried pastry, very light) and soaked in honey. Some are filled with honey and walnuts, others mandarin and almonds. Heavenly.

Meryl has fallen in love with the guy running the shop. Something about the bite of rich creamy pastry he offered her a bite of. Not sure if she will be on the boat, when we depart tomorrow.
