After an hour of sleep from ios,I got up for breakkie and we had arrived in Paros.
We got off the boat most of us still drunk and boycotted the orientation walk for a bakery feed. We had a bit of a walk around Paros stopped for a beer and free wifi and that was the extent of Paros. On the way back to the boat we stopped for a quick swim. I was slowly making my way in when the boys started to splash me and I knew the next step was I was going to be pushed in. I noticed there were sea urchins which our tour guide had specifically said to be careful of so I said dont push me in there are urchins but no one believed and and next thing I know Jimbo has crash tackled me into the water and my foot brushed past and urchin. Needless to say my toes had a few spines lodged in them so I hobbled back to the boat so Jim could tweezer them out,OWW! Definitely had tender toes after that one and I think I still have some left in there :(
Next stop was Naxos for the afternoon and night. I found Naxos really nice,quaint if that's a better describing word.
First we went to see a marble structure just near the water that had been dedicated to apollo. There were actually waves at the beach next to it not very big but enough to remind me of the waves at home. We then walked through the town and up into a castle which had been built for the rich people of the island and also to hide and protect themselves from pirates which were apparently a huge problem for this island. The covered walkways were low and narrow suggesting that they were made to make it easier for the people of Naxos to trap pirates,or another theory we heard from this cute old lady was that the drunk men could feel their way home in the dark haha.
We were taken to this outside restaurant it was really nice. I'd been feeling pretty ill all afternoon so when we got served a 3 course dinner and I couldn't even finish then proceeded to dry retching over the toilet I wasnt very happy. We were being taken to have the best icecream on the island after dinner and I hadnt had any icecream the whole trip so I thought I'd test my belly out and go for a scoop of pistachio and butter caramel. It seemed to settle my stomach thankfully cause it was the smoothest,creamiest yummiest icecream ever. I was pretty tired so after icecream I headed back to the boat and slept up on the top deck.
Tomorrow Mykonos and last day :(
Over and out xx
