July 4th
Ahhh the Greek beach life… Lauren and I have discussed that back in the day, when anticipating this trip, we never really thought we’d be literally laying out on the beach! Today we had to check out of our hotel, Popi Star, (yes, you’re welcome to emphasize which ever word… we have been… When we first arrived we were like “ohhh this is the Poopy Star, but then it was better on the inside so we went with the “Pop Star”). Things are deceiving here. Deteriorating buildings can be gorgeous on the inside. We bussed over to the other side of the island and whoa whoa whoa did we just run into only the most turquoise water one has ever seen. Literally. See photos because you have to see it to believe it. We visited the monastery on the hill over looking the ocean and even got to snap a photo of a greek monk. Lauren and I later rented a paddle boat to explore the coastline and the surrounding caves. We didn’t quite realize the workout we were in for but it was a blast and we even saw dolphins in the distance…
Just another day in Grecian paradise… We board the ferry tonight for Italy! When in Rome we plan to do as the Romans do… Stay tuned !
