Christmas music and hot weather
Another day, another port I have already been to. Today was a lovely day regardless because the weather was just perfect. It was actually hot, as in I was over dressed in my dress and cardigan. Another weird thing is when we got off the ship to grab a coffee at starbucks, we were sat by the pier, drinking our Christmas coffee's with Christmas music playing. It was very very surreal. I am so not used to anything ...
Our first Port of Call
... to rain and we saw several "taxis" and used one of them. This taxi was a cart that sat two people and powered by a man riding a bicycle. How lucky it was to find one.

Damn Greeks...
... if it did on the map. So we kept driving. 45 minutes we drove a zig zag road with a cliff on one side of us. Our little car chugging along. Our theme song became "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can". It took at least 45 minutes to get to the bottom. And when we got there.. I almost cried. Four houses and a small wharf. Shoot me.
