Lazing in Hydra

21 June 2019

With the time difference I woke around 0430.  I thought I would be able to sleep in till later due to having missed a night’s sleep.  But no.  I was out the door around 0700 for a walk.  I spent the day inside and outside having a chilled day.

I had breakfast of fruit and cereal.  The followed up with a pastry for brunch and a sandwich for lunch.

When it was hot hot hot, I went for a cool dip at the swimming terrace near the Sunset Restaurant.  It was very pleasant.  The wake from some passing boats did make everyone bob up and down though.  And there were many kids and adults jumping (some somersaulting) into the water from the rocks above.

My first real meal in one of the open air restaurants by the waterfront; they take the awnings away in the evening.  It was a beautiful setting but the meal didn’t compare to last night’s.  The chicken souvlaki meal was like something I could have made up in minutes from supermarket pre-made skewers.

I tried to stay up later tonight and see the sunset.  To kill time, I extended my walk from Sunset Restaurant to Kamini Harbour on the rocky road that hugged the hillside.  It was a nice way to end the day but I didn’t bother staying to see the sun disappear into the horizon.
