Well I opened the shutters and the wind seems to have dropped more than forecasted. Sea seems quite calm, what a transformation, yippee!
We had said goodbye last night to Voula as she had to travel to Athens, on a family problem
. Her mother was going to be here at breakfast.
We finished packing and with some relief at the weather conditions we went to the port to await the arrival of Super Jet. I checked the computer screens and she was in Sifnos,so we decided to have a coffee in Milors.
The crossing was pretty smooth but Jean felt rough. In theory it is a nice trip sailing into Folegandros and Santorini but, being enclosed you don`t see too much. It`s fast but you pay for the privilege. This trip cost 84 euros. If Aqua Jewel was running it would have been 40. Must say staff very good and pro active.
We arrive at Ios and we spot Geogios with the Katerina`s board. He is 15 now and has shot up. He calls his dad Pedros on the phone who is parked up around the corner and it`s off to Katerina`s, it is in a most spectacular setting. I think this will be our sixth visit. We have room 7.
Go down to the pool
. Discover that a party of 9 American youngsters are arriving off the next boat, this might be interesting!
They arrive and are a little loud but, I think they are just excited, seem a decent bunch.
Get ready to go out and have a drink at the bar with Pedros and Maria and then we decide to go to Fiesta, for dinner. This is set outside the main village and has good views down to the port. It is run by Lorna and her husband, we have been here a few times over the years.
We share a chef salad with homemade bread and this was plentiful. For mains Jean had a chicken kebab which are always very good and I had a mousaka which was in a massive dish and I couldn`t finish it off!
We walk upto the village and have a glass of wine in a nice bar which we havn`t been in previously. It`s then back to Katerina`s which is about a 10 minute walk away. Good to be back.
Off to Ios
