I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Patras is the place for that. They can enter Greece with almost no control,
and make their way to a port to get to Italy. If you're driving onto a ferry
you pass an eery kind of gauntlet where these guys are lining the route eying
the traffic, ready to grab any opportunity to sneak onto a vehicle. A bit
unnerving...
