9:00pm: Back at the airbnb after a long but fun day. Slept terribly again but didn’t fully wake up until about 7:30. We went back to Meloni bakery for breakfast overlooking the water, I had an iced cappuccino (seens to be a specialty here and it is delicious!) and a slice of dark chocolate torte. Matt had a veritable feast of a pancake drowning in honey, fruit salad, and greek yogurt topped with homemade granola bars. We then wandered around town for a bit and that was a challenge because it looked like three cruise ships were docked and the streets were packed even at 9an. Aroud 11:15, we made a quick pit stop back at the airbnb and found a little cafe right near the airbnb to have a light lunch before our sunset boat cruise was to pick us up - we had another greek salad and helping of the local tomato fritters plus some delicious olives,
Then we were picked up by the boat tour company and took a winding and long trip to the south of the island over honestly mostly barren terrain. There is a LOT of incomplete construction here. We then arrived at the Southern port and loaded the boat, which had about 20 people, mostly Americans. It took us to the red beach, the white beach, the volcanic “hot springs” (they were not even warm), and included drinks, a bbq dinner, etc. It was great fun even though I sat around a lot with my eyes closed so as to avoid getting seasick - and thank goodness I did!!! Anyway, the people were mostly really fun to talk to, the food decent, the staff super nice, and the sunset view from the water priceless. Luckily due to where our airbnb is, we were also the first people dropped off the return bus and made it back relatively early.
Tomorrow we rent a car for a few hours to explore the island’s quieter towns, then drop the car off and take an airbnb experience winery/brewery tour!
