<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I made the most of today as it is the only day between now and Saturday that I am not travelling.<\/p>\n
I’ve spent the day enjoying my (very short) stay on Syros. Breakfast was included in the room rate, and of all the breakfasts I’ve had so far in Greece, the continental breakfast provided here has by far been the best: cheese & ham toastie, a croissant with butter and cherry jam, a hard boiled egg, and a drink: which I was able to take up to my room to enjoy.<\/p>\n
In the morning I headed for a nice swim at Galissas Beach – it’s quite quiet at 10am! I spent quite a bit of time there, floating about on the surface of the water, before I returned to my room to have some lunch.<\/p>\n
This afternoon I got the bus in to Ermoupoli, where I wandered the streets for a bit. I went to find the t-shirt place where I got my shirt made last year, but had forgotten it closes in the afternoons. Will try and go tomorrow if I have time, if not I’ll find somewhere in Thessaloniki to make a personalised Greek t-shirt for me.<\/p>\n
I got some postcards and some stamps – some postcards for my collection (I’ll be putting a photo album together with my postcard, photos, tickets and other things I’ve collected); and some to send to friends and family in the UK. I sat in one of Ermoupoli’s many caf\u00e9s with a drink and an ice cream while I wrote the postcards.<\/p>\n
This evening for dinner it was back to \u03a4\u03b1\u03b2\u03ad\u03c1\u03bd\u03b1 \u03a3\u03ac\u03b2\u03b2\u03b1\u03c2 (Taverna Savvas) – one of our favourites in Galissas from last year – where I enjoyed my \u03bc\u03bf\u03c3\u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03ac\u03ba\u03b9 (beef). Savvas was, as usual, very busy: I had to sit inside, but didn’t mind this at all.<\/p>\n
So tomorrow, I go back to Athens. The ferry’s not until 4, so I’ve got time to do things during the morning; I’ll probably get the bus at about 2:15 to make sure I’m at the port in enough time. The 3:15 bus would probably get me in on time but I’d be at the back of a very long queue, especially if it is five or ten minutes late, as it sometimes is.<\/p>\n
I’m off to bed now.<\/p>\n
Good night,<\/p>\n
