Yesterday was a lot of fun. The weather was beautiful and the wind was calm. We took the ATV on our biggest trip yet on this island that included some "extreme" off roading! We climbed to the very top of a hill for a great view and then ended up on the other side of the island - a short cut through the hills. The roads were crazy bumpy with only large loose rocks - much more "extreme" than a dirt road. We took lunch sea side and experimented with some seafood. The fish looked like nothing we've ever seen. The filet resembeled a peeled apple - it was very strange and not that great. After an afternoon on the beach we headed back to town.
We had a quick snack and beer during "happy hour" which was great and then played some paddle ball on the beach wall watchign the sun set. The sun sets are amazing here. The sky turns colours of pink/red that we have never seen.
Later that night we had a snack which was a waffle, covered in chocolate and topped with whipped cream, fruit, ice cream, and chocolate sauce. It was like nothing we've ever heard of - this thing could have easily fed 4 people - that said, jessie and I made short work of it using our vacation as an excuse for our indulgence.
The EuroCup is on and we were at a packed house because Greece was playing Russia on a VERY big screen. Greece lost, unfortunately (because we're long time Greek football fans), but it was neat to see how excited that the fans get. You'd think people were dying based on their reactions.
Today is a slow day involving a ferry ride to Athens. We'll have our last greek meal in Athens tonight and maybe do a bit of shopping to fill out the last available spots in our packs before boarding the big plane home tomorrow!
See you all soon! (Back to work on Wednesday...boo)
