Blue Horizon Hotel Sifnos

... the gyros. We used a BBQ grill since there's was no way we could do the whole meat hanging vertically thing. Go to the end of this entry to see how we did it.

After lunch, we walked over to take a quick look at the Church of a Hundred Doors. We weren't dressed appropriately, so we just peeked in.

... to eat. We picked a little place in the harbour and had a lovely meal Ian having lamb and I had Stifado was delicious then in the place we where they had a traditional Greek wedding taking place with live music and everyone was up doing the traditional dancers. The bride and groom had not arrived but they were due to arrive later I think we did not hang around and had a lovely walk back to the hotel and a long long sleep.

... legs but it was lovely to chill.

I did not really think I would make it back but I did and gladly handed the bike back my **** is killing me and I need serious wine so sat in my fave place just typing this and now off to get some wine......

Drank some wine and ended up getting a take away pizza and going back to the room having a fabulous time here in Nauousa

... this place is amazing we acutally feel like we are on holiday now days relaxing by the pool and the beach.

After a nice dinner on our balcony we lay on the bed watching Greek TV they had a Greek version of Come Dine with me on it was too funny watched that and went to bed sorry its boring but have to have chilled days sometimes.

... but we were now also quite concerned about our ability to actually get this tiny car back up the cliff. We could just imagine calling the rental company and telling them we had driven their car to the bottom of a 700ft cliff and now had no way to get it back out.

Anyway, we turned off the a/c and anything else we could think of that would be a drain on the engine. We agreed to take everything out of the car (including me) to lessen the weight in order to make it as light as ...

... fruit and vegetable stores, which are all quite good and cheap.

We had breakfast in one of the many cafes on the square and began to plan today's itinerary. We decided to rent an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) aka a quad bike for us to explore the island and started walking around the village to find a bike rental shop. Found one at the fringe of the village – Lignos Stelios ...

... Greek.

And of course, it was not delicious at all! Argi looked at me with the “what-do-you-expect-look” and I knew there and then that I should not have stepped into a restaurant with an English menu on this island! But I was so tired and hungry – and Argi was too polite to not warn me before hand. In addition, it was expensive as well! Sure enough, I learned my lesson after that meal ...

... to an island for about 10 days then come back when my parents arrive- which I can't WAIT for yayyyy!!! And I told Thanos _he is the AWESOME guy who works here and is just like a big older brother he helps me with everything and he sounds American haha!! so I told him where we are staying and he said it is the nicest hotel in the country! So good on you mom!!! SO I have tons more to tell but I don't have a tour today so they are trying to figure out what to do with me!!!

... paper down the toilet, **** the system. I finally asked someone and they said that it totally screws up the sewer system and ****s all kinds of **** up (literally). So although I haven't clogged any toilets up yet, I find it kind of humorous to think of my wimpy toilet paper causing all kinds of trouble in these towns that I have been travelling through the past few weeks. Wonder if its causing some ...

Well finally made it to one of the most well known island groups in the world. The Greek Islands :o) haha oh it feels good! Paros has been chill. The ferry over took quite a while though. But had lots to see on deck of the boat as it passed other small island clusters. Once in Paros it was very layed back with what looks like a small populated island. The typical white concrete buildings with blue window shutters and doors were absolutely everywhere which made such a beautiful sight ...
