Joseph-- today we went on a cruise called "captain bens adventure". it was an amazing trip, it took us completely around Antiparos and to some secluded destinations. the boat had two levels, with a slide coming from the top level and a ledge to jump off of. our first stop was between two small islands that had a lonely stone church. he anchored down, and I took the first jump off the ledge with Mickey close behind me. next, he brought us to a cave/cove and supplied us with snorkeling gear. their weren't many fish, the few that there was were brownish. The underwater landscape was a gorgeous! next, we stopped at the beach and had local octopus and ouzo. about an hour later lunch was served, plenty of soulvaki, potatoes, and fish!
Mickey- So Joseph got tipsy off of the ouzu and was trying to catch minnows with a plastic cup... and ended up spilling his huge plate of food all over himself (note: Joseph can only handle half a cup of ouzu) :)
The great thing about this cruise was that it took us to locations unreachable by anything but boat. We got to swim and explore caves hidden to anyone else but this captain and enjoy the Greek ocean and landscape more than we ever would have. We also stopped on a beach with tons of rocks that Joseph and I used to skip-rocks with until a boat of drunken tourists arrived and swam into our skipping zone. sigh. On our way back (exhausted) we saw "Tom Hanks house" (according to the Norwegian on the boat). Speaking of, this island is full of nothing but Scandinavians - Joseph was literally the only non-scandinavian on the boat! We took a trip to the town centre of Naoussa and explored the small roads twisting through the shops that looked like one big, white house. We found a crepe shop and devoured two huge, delicious crepes. :P
Joseph again- so as always Mickey out did me in blogging. but HEADS-UP: we haven't figured out how to read comments on this app, so no upset relatives if we don't respond! :) email me ([email protected]), also send me an email if you want a copy of the pictures. we have taken many and I will upload them all when we get home.
OOPPPAAAAAAAAAA! (winphrey.)
