Today was a recover from walking for 9 hours straight day, and map out which islands we'd like to see as to avoid a game of ferry ping pong. That and we're scheduled to check out on Wednesday....well at least we were!
Woke up early (6am) had breakfast, took a nap after, had a second breakfast (apparently I'm turning into a hobbit) though I'm normally asleep before I eat dinner...at least for now. After mom spent some time on our travel book and the BUG website (backpackers ultimate guide- thanks to Derek for showing me that!) I went downstairs while mom napped to book our ferry to Mykonos....or so I thought. Turns out there's a "strike" today. From my American eyed view....seems to be a "one day protest" as flights and ferries are cancelled, but apparently the tram and metro are still running, yeah, I don't get it either. Wound up booking another night here, and now have a 7am ferry into Mykonos on Thursday morning (the strike apparently has a predetermined end day and will only be for today.) Today will be another get those tan lines back day. A shout out to Miami and my time spent there, even though my tan had faded in the SF summer fog, 2+ hours in the sun yesterday, and my tan lines are very prominent, sweet! Made a buddy in the form of a cute black cat while laying poolside. He even hopped up on my chair...he got a bit warm, so decided to nap under my chair. Wonder if I'll see her today?
Walked around Gylfada. Cute area. There's some graffiti here...but nothing like Athens. Not a huge fan of the architecture....everything is extremely square and angular, not a lot of character, it's like the 70's era buildings of the US....but that's all there is. Everyone has a balcony, and many of them appear to have a fruit orchard on said balcony. More power to the green thumb in ya, I certainly couldn't do it.
As anyone who knows me can attest, not much going on yesterday...hence the blog being created...and caught up. =P gave me something to do...I'm not much one to lay around doing nothing...unless I'm ill.
Still haven't figured out my #%*+^ cell phone. I now have a SIM card...but it's locked. What is it with these stupid lock codes for crimminies sake?!! First I had to pay to get the iPhone unlocked, now I've got instructions babbled in Greek to unlock the goofball SIM card....time to make a bilingual friend! Hope to be up and running by days end...we shall see. There's a Lebanese restaurant in the area which I intend to check out. SF I believe Greece has you on this one...I have yet to see a Lebanese restaurant in the city. 10:15 here, 2nd breakfast of the day consumed (coffee and yogurt with honey) time to slather on the sunscreen don a bikini and check out the sister hotel down the road. Sleep well SF.
