Return to Paradise, or at least a hotel and a beach

Hey..
The ferry ride was on the same ferry that had taken us by accident all the way to Athens, the Pegasus Express. Late that evening the wind picked up quite a bit, but we dozed on and off throughout the night in our sleeping bags. Not quite as good as a sleep as the first time we rode the Express, but it wasn't too bad, or so we thought.

Well we arrive early in Samos yesterday and waited for our room to be ready. We had some breakfast because we were both hungry.. Toasted sandwhiches. After we settled into our room it had not been cleaned yet.. so what else was there to do but head to the beach .. it was 9am.

So we laid our towel down on the pebbled beach and tanned and swam and tanned and swam... at about 3:00 pm we both were tired and decided it was time to go. Feeling light headed and a little sick (i think from all the stress over the last 5 days) we retreated for a nap.. a nap that turned into 16hours of sleep.. with no dinner!!! We were done!!

In the morning we just read in bed for a while.. then got ready to go have beakfast of toast and Tyson had another toasted sandwhich. Then we got ready for the beach. This time not so early.. around 11 we got there. We decided to rent some lawnchairs today to relax even more and its easier to read in those things as well as to nap. Also there is an umbrella to block some sun if need be. We stayed till about 4:00. It was another hot day.. but with a little more wind.. the water was warm and we tossed the frisbee around for awhile.. well the little frisbee that Meo gave me for chirstmas. I am not very good swimmer and Tyson is trying to teach me to duck dive.. but i dont like it so much in the salt water it hurts my eyes so i cant open them under there. We may look for some googles if we can find some cheap ones. There are some little fish that swim with us.. its nice.. the rocks hurt if you stub your toes on them.. but there is some sandy parts further in the water. About waist height so its not bad. We have sort of made a routine i think.

Well only 8 days left of vacation before going home..
