So.. Jordan got up a the crack of dawn this morning.. 830.. lol.. rented a wee scooter and zoomed off to Halki to visit the distillery of the famous Citron liqueur that they make on Naxos. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummmmmmmmy..
Was fun, about 18km (30 minutes-ish) from Naxos town, up into the mountainous interior of Naxos, very pretty, and I even managed not to injure myself! yay!
I was in a bit of a hurry on the return as my ferry was leaving at about 1pm, so I headed back and returned the scooter (they were shocked at how short a time I had been out) and George (hotel guy) drove me and a few others down to the ferry pier.
Got chatting with one of the others who were headed to Santorini and had stayed at the same place, resulted in getting an email address, phone number and address for him and his family in New Zealand! Hooray for new friends! :)
2-hour ferry ride, found my hotel guy here and we headed off.. the place I booked, although lovely, is on the far side of the island from the main town (11km), little bit of a sleepy place not not too bad. Lovely hotel and a simple and clean room again, and about 30 seconds walk from the beach.
Came out to the poolside after getting settled in, met a lovely couple from Yorkshire UK, who ended up buying me a beer and having a good chat. They are getting married here the day after I take off. :)
Went down to the black sand beach near the hotel for a little look see, and out for a wander to see what food and internet was available.. internet first.. now I must eat... peace..
