'Triodio'
(the three week period before the Sunday of the Carnival) began on
Sunday 24th and we are now officially moving towards Carnival!
During my last visit to Patras I couldn't help but take photos of the Carnival decorations that are all over! I always like going to Patras, but this period before Carnival is really special! There is music all around, there are many pop-up Carnival shops, decorations all over the streets and lots, lots of colours!
This year there is a wonderful exhibition on the history of Patras Carnival, dating back to the 19th! The thing that caught my eye was this machine that used to make wax eggs with confetti inside, that people used to throw to one another, dating back from 1931!

Such fun! I love the eggs with confetti inside!!!
