Last of Greece

Monday AM July 6 we slept in (’til 8:30), had breakfast at the coffee house next door and then made our way to the ferry that goes to the island of Poros. Left the rental car in a parking lot. The ferry was a short ride, easy on and off, the only glitch was getting a cab to our hotel about 1.5 miles from the town of Poros. Here’s the view of the town of Poros from our room, day and night:

The hotel’s small beach was nice enough, if you could ignore the techno-pop music blaring. Apple EarPods with noise cancellation helped me. Noel and Peggy like being in the water:

We walked to town on the road, had to climb the hill to find the restaurant Peggy picked out but we knew it would be good, near the top of the hill in the Poros picture, it had lots of patrons and the only way to get there was to walk. It was great and the people were very friendly. We took pictures from the clock tower that stands above the city while we were finding the restaurant. Here’s the view:

We bought pastries to go at a bakery before getting a cab back to the hotel, played cards (hearts) until almost midnight. Our last day was spent at Love Bay, about a half mile walk from the hotel, going away from town. Popular with locals and Greek tourists, we relaxed, swam, ate lunch and eventually walked back to the hotel where we caught a cab back to the ferry. Love Bay had fish that peck at your feet. It only happened a time or two but it was enough to be a worry to Peggy and Noel. Some Love Bay pics:

Almost a 3 hour drive back to Athens, stopped at a restaurant in Corinth for supper and are now comfortably ensconced in our hotel, the long return trip starts tomorrow.
