Last, Least and Away






Our last day was devoted to a 1-day, 3-island cruise. When we arrived at our boat we found the whole main deck occupied by Japanese tourists. Nevertheless, the two-hour voyage to the first island was smooth and relaxing. Over the course of the day we stopped in Aegina, Poros and Hydra. We did a little shopping and discovered small fishing villages that look exactly like photographs in the travel brochures. Toby liked everything about the day except lunch. She had eaten half of her chicken when she found out it wasn’t. The main course was actually pork; the other white meat.

The highlight of the day was the really nice Japanese ladies we met on the cruise back to Athens. They shared their cookies with us and were just as friendly and gracious as could be, although they barely spoke English and we speak not one word of Japanese.

Cheryl and Toby left for the airport about 3:00 a.m. I slept in, then checked out of the hotel about 10:30 for my 12:55 flight.

Awesome vacation; wonderful friends; great time; way too much fun.
