je t'aime naxos

Who likes to sleep in until 11am every day??

It's a pretty lazy lifestyle here in the Greek Islands, loving every minute of it.

Went back to the same place for breaky.. got the 5 euro instead of 7 euro one like I did yesterday.. it was still an enormous quantity of food. Sometimes I wonder if the amount of food served varies by what the customers appetite appears to be rather than the cost or even what is listed as included with whatever you've ordered.. LOL. I can't pack away what I used to be able to!

Today I discovered St George's beach.. the closest beach to Naxos Town and likely, at times, the most crowded. Not today, just a few people.

Spent part of the afternoon wandering about, the weather perked up a bit today, yesterday was windier with a bit of rain. I was hoping to get up to the village of Halki, which is where they make Citron liquer, famous on Naxos. Because I couldn't get my lazy ass out of bed any sooner, by the time I got down there (130ish), I was told the next bus would be at 3pm, and the last bus returning around 430pm, and it's a half-hour trip each way. You do the math.

I ended up missing the bus, although I was sitting at the stop and asking the bus drivers and looking at every bus (not that I know how to read Greek, lol!). Just as well.. 1 hour to do taste testing and purchase is not really that much time.

I plan to rent a scooter and take myself up there tomorrow morning, at the suggestion of a nice gentleman in the tourist information center. I would have to come back for around 1145 and head to the ferry for Santorini.

After a hour or so of chill-out time in my room.. here I am back at the internet cafe. Getting hungry..... :)
