A large gathering, with majority young and first-time Strollers, blended nicely on the cultural and romantic walk in Galata and Kakopetria on 25 Jan., and had a feast time over lunch.

All is well when it ends well. Indeed, the overlying clouds, together with the cheerful mood of Strollers made the outing a success, lifting the weight from the Organizers, who struggled midweek to rearrange, after a ban on all Troodos trails.

Through fields of green Xenophon trod

An Ithaca trail, by ancient god

Not for war, or fame’s delight

But Vasilopita, shining bright

Ithaca’s trail, a winding thread

Past olive groves, where dreams are spread

Each stone a story, whispered low

Of journeys past and winds that blow

The air is sweet with baking spice

A promise warm, a taste so nice

Vasilopita, round and grand

A lucky coin to be held in hand

Surely not Xenophon’s winning coin

Plucked mysteriously from his groin

The coin is in the cake, you see

Slice and share, with joy and glee.
