Felt pretty horrible on the ferry we caught this morning! Everyone had seats together but my ticket was allocated to a seat that seemingly didn't exist, luckily there was a spare next to Christina so all was ok! Had a snooze but actually felt worse afterwards.
Got to our hotel and chilled out for a bit. Bought some lunch from the local bakery, I am loving the pastries here. Yummmmm. Tom took me, Caitlin, Kirra, Christina, Adam and Dave on a short walk around town. Paros is so chilled out and lots less touristy than Mykonos. I love how quiet it is!! The town has little winding streets like Mykonos but not nearly as many souvenir shops.
Caitlin, Kirra and I sat down and enjoyed an ice cream. All three of us felt pretty crappy at this stage so sitting down eating a cold ice cream was heaven. We had a quick look in the shops and then headed back to the hotel. My plan was to have a 20 minute nap in my room at 2pm. I woke up at 4.35 however - oops! Obviously I needed the sleep. Quickly got ready and we all headed out for dinner.
We had an orientation walk through the shops and then to a church. Then We drove about 10-15 mins by bus to a restaurant by the beach. We all enjoyed a delicious four course meal which was amazing! A few people from our Mykonos group stayed on (it's a flexible tour) and we gained four more Aussies from Brisbane. Turns out they're moving to England in August and they've said we will meet up. One of them is even teaching and using the same agency as me!
We did a bit of Greek dancing and then some plate smashing. Apparently the smashing of plates is to scare off evil spirits! It was quite fun.
We are all pretty wrecked tonight so I'm very excited to be going to sleep. Tmro we have an all day boat trip with unlimited food and drink. I'm very excited!!
Love to all
Claire
