Adventures in cat-trapping....Greek-style

As I was saying.... A very frustrating day as I have discovered I am not going to be able to drive round Athens and catch the cats as planned. Driving is just to difficult... no road signs, no road markings, traffic comes out all directions, all at once! I hired the car and we 'drove' round the sites this morning to see where the cats where and where they would need to be picked up/dropped off at. The final straw was that the vets they need to go to is down town in central Athens and we have to go down at 9pm at night when all the other shops are shut! NO WAY. Street are badly sign-posted as it is so I stand no chance at night, even with my Sat-Nav. We have no-one else who can help who can drive so we are now going to have to use a local taxi driver who works with the local cat volunteers. It looks like it is going to be an afternoon/evening job as we start trapping at 4.30, catch 2 loads of cats who have to stay in an empty house until we can take to the vets at 9pm. I guess so long as it works, it is not what we wanted, but hey....
