Kittens!
We have kittens in the huge pot out the front of our terrace. The were born Friday night, and are sooooo tiny :) Too cute. I would upload a pic of them, and of all the little cats, dogs and ducks that I’ve made friends with since I’m been here, but is it really that surprising that internet is not that great on a Greek island that’s only an hour boat ride from Turkey? :p (Will be slowly uploading some pics to Flickr, but most will happen when I get home)
Planning to go to Turkey for a day trip on Tuesday. It would seem silly not to since we’re so close to it. I can see the lights at night and sort of see the coast line in the day, depending on how hazey it is. The bush/grass fires (not in this island, thankfully) create a lot of extra haze. That and the cigarette smoke *dies* At least it’s not as bad as in Athens, where you couldn’t move without sitting next to a smoker. Inside and out. Blech. At least there’s more open air here. And more Germans, who, while they do smoke, seem to be able to cope for a short break to eat their meals - they only light up between courses.
Spent an hour bobbing around in the water this morning, after dragging myself out of bed at 10 (lazybones!) Discovered that there is ONE night a week here when there’s a night life, Saturdays, but I missed it with sleep. Oh well. I’m here to be lazy on the beach and swim and de-stress. I’ll head back down there about 3/4 (It’s 1pm now) once the sun isn’t so intense. Will sit at a cafe on the water with a light salad, a glass of wine and write in my travel journal once I’m done here. *smiles*
Tonight, Rish’s great uncle is heading back to have dinner with us, and then we’ll head into Vathy (Samos) town tomorrow to wander there, organise out trip to Turkey and book our Ferry trips. Think we’ll be flying back from Santorini to Athens, as the flights are only slightly dearer, and about 8 hours shorter!
Time is flying… Do I have to go home?
