up at 6.30 am. left kusadasi in a smaller boat than when we arrived but sea was calm, hardly any sea spray. reached samos at about 11 plus. went for lunch with R, Tr and Iv. missed greek pizza. walked around back alley stores, then returned to samos hotel for ice-cream sodas and pinball. left samos at 4, arrived at naxos at 10.30 pm. very nice ferry complete with volleyball arcade game. dinner of roast beef with rice (1600). kinda ex, but it was decent. the sea was molten silver in the glare with only foam betraying its true nature. the moon was a brilliant dark red.
naxos: 7 of us nearly had to share a nice apartment (but with only 5 beds). Iv: well, as long as I get a single. the prick. guy came back and showed us a double at another hotel. T and I took it. 2000 ΔPX each.
getting here had been interesting. 7 of us bundled onto a mini-van and coursing through tiny streets. ‘problem with police? what problem?’ turned out waterfront was closed to traffic by the police, hence the van. went out for drinks (coke ) after that.
