Friday, June 25

Too much ouzo last night put me under and I slept it off while everyone else went to dinner. Woke up to find myself locked in my room!! Only having one key has its drawbacks. Hard time sleeping and I think it’s still the time zone thing. Or maybe residual effects of the ouzo. At breakfast we all compared our sleepless nights. Yep, time zone thing. It take much longer than you expect to adjust. Gen went back to bed after breakfast and got up around 2:00pm.
We decided to lay low and Terry, Adriana and I headed off to the beach. Our handsome host from our beachside restaurant Wednesday night has assured us he would let us stay on the beach free since we had eaten dinner at his restaurant. Never trust a goodlooking Greek man. He was delighted to see us but we still had to pay 5E each.

Beach chairs, stunning weather, Aegean Ocean in front of you and a good read are what I call a perfect day. Gen and I dragged ourselves away around 7pm and walked back up the hill to the Kamari to regroup. Dinner with the gang in a splendid restaurant about 50ft. from our hotel followed with the greatest octopus ever. It’s becoming a daily ritual. This time steeped in a sweet wine reduction. Lobster risotto, grilled veggies and a couple of bottles of red wine later we drifted back to the terrace of the Kamari to make this blissful day stay a little while longer. Cool breezes and surprise fireworks closed out a remarkably lovely day. Opa!
