Last day!

Chloe and I got up early in a highly motivated bid to do the climb called "Eros". After a few failed attempts (I got to the last @#$@#ing bolt and then fell off!!! ARGHH) we gave up, met up with Mark and Amy and shuttled to Kastelli to do "Pillar of the Sea"


Aftwerwards, we went back to the Studio, packed our stuff up and experienced a hair raising car ride up to the monestary overlooking the harbor:

On our way down, George (Nicks son in law, who is taking over for Nick) showed us the thermal waters near Pothia which we had somehow never even heard of! After wandering around the port for a while, we had a drink at one of the 1000 Pothia cafes, and watched in amazement as a boat almost crashed into two other moored boats and then the dock itself. The name of the boat?

We sadly boarded the ferry to Mastixari, made arrangements for a room in the somewhat musty but otherwise nice Angela Thalia Apartments, and made reservations for a 5:50 AM taxi to the airport.
