Cruise in Greece

5/14/11

Location: Tolon

I woke up and ate breakfast in the morning. Then we all walked about a mile to the large boat dock. We visited 2 different islands today. The trip to the island Hydra was about 2 hours long. We got to ride in a large 3 story ship with more than 130 people on it. It was fun being on the first island. They had old fashion buildings that were built on a hill and they had white sides and an orange roof. Pretty much like the ones that are in all of the movies. I was able to do some souvenir shopping and I walked around with Elizabeth. Then we ate lunch and it was traditional Greek food; we had moussaka (A chilled eggplant dessert), Greek salad, and pork kabobs. The food was pretty good, I’m trying new things. Then we got back on the boat for an hour long ride to the island Spetses. This was a nice place to go to; there weren’t many shops but it was very relaxing to just enjoy the town. We spent a little while there and then rode back to Tolon. We ate dinner and then went to the gelato shop to get some dessert and get on the internet. I’ve got a little bit of sun burn but it has been a really great day.
