Took the bus to Lefkas to try again to cancel our vodafone internet contract as we can only use it in Greece!!!
 
.
On arrival we went staright to Vodafone to sort out our contract.This was not to be a simple procedure as we were soon to discover.First we were told that the'system was down' but would be up and running within the hour so could we come back later? We agreed and said we would give them some extra time and come back in 2hrs.
 
We took the opportunity to check out the water facilities at the town quay as we would be passing through Lefkas to go to Preveza, our next stop.
Lefkas is a quaint town with a reasonable amount of hardware stores and supermarkets.The town quay is pleasant just to sit at one of the waterside cafes and people watch which is what we did as it was a lovely sunny day.
 
We went back 2 hrs later to Vodafone to find that the 'system was still down'.Mark was able to speak to one of the technicians, as 'the system down' seems to be all to regular an occurrence and he informed us that we did not need to bother cancelling our contract until 3 days before our departure from Greece as we would be purchasing the'mifi' gadget.
We were a little surprised as we were led to believe that normally you needed to give 1 months notice.
 
We decided that as we would be returning to Lefkas in a couple of days time to complete our victualling  that that was when we would  stop into Vodafone again to finalise things or at least pay for the last month of our contract.
