That will teach me

So much for expensive new toys! The Pentax ist -D I just bought is a dud. Looking at the photos I took it seems there is a burnt pixel right in the middle of the screen. This means that I have to go back to Public and probably waste a hour of my life trying to get my money back (the camera was the last one of its kind in the shop).

I hate this kind of stuff as they always try to fob you off with some more expensive model that you don't want or a "credit note'. Sorry, for 500 euros I want exactly what I chose.

Wish me luck. In the meanwhile here are some of the photos I took.

28th October

Today is a national holiday in Greece ("oxi" or "no day"). On this day in 1941 the Italian dictator, Mussolini demanded that the Greek government allow Italian troops to enter its territory. This marked the country's entry into WWII on the side of the allies (see here for more details).

Every town has a parade in which students participate by marching through the streets.
