... 6 AM, so we paid an extra 30 Euro to keep our hotel room till the evening. That allowed us to come and go all day and have a shower after our late supper before checking out. It was a bit of a grind to get back to Canada. We caught the bus for the half-hour direct trip to the airport where we hung around listening to terrible Muzak for seven hours. Our only entertainment was ...

... arrived a short time later, we got the chance to reacquaint ourselves with captain chaos and monobrow once again. The ferry linking Kythnos and Serifos is a short sail at 11/2 hours. As you sail towards the port the first thing you notice is the islands landscape and like Kythnos it's barren and rocky with the few pockets of green that exist being the result tomato farming.

While most of it is just modern buildings, a few ancient ruin sites can be seen scattered here and there amidst the city. Also on top of the Acropolis is the Erechtheion, and a raised platform with a large Greek flag flying from it that provides the best ...

... them in the hotel lobby, I heard a 'pop' outside and quickly a woman came in to tell the front desk man that a kitten had been run over. "Yes" he replied. "But a car ran over it" "It is dead?" "I think so" "Ok" "But its in front of your hotel" "Well, someone will clean it" and he looked back at the game on tv.

... it looks like a man is wearing a short dress, white tights, and wooden shoes adorned with pom-poms over the shoe&#8217;s top. While one might be tempted to tease the "manliness" of these soldiers, their guns provide a strong deterrent from taking this action.
