Today was the beach day! We missed the bus by 8 minutes so we had to cab it but the beach was beautiful! The sand was tiny pebbles which was so much nicer than sand because it didn't get everywhere. We swam and relaxed at the beach bar drinking UK-imported coolers.
It was awesome and relaxing until Anna got a voice message saying our ferry for tomorrow was cancelled! We debated about going back early but there were really no cabs to take and we already spent €15 on the cab out. We decided to stay until the bus came at 3:30.
We got into town and we realized that the tourist place were we bought our tickets was still open. We asked her about our options because of the cancellation. She said we could go to Sifinos and the take another ferry to Santorini. After asking if we could do that tomorrow (and she said no) it dawned on us that this was the only way we were getting off Milos before Friday.
GAME ON! We had 40 minutes to run up the hill to the hotel, pack all our stuff, check out, change our tickets (because we didn't bring them to the beach) and get to the port!!!
So we RAN up the hill to our hotel, I paid for the hotel and Anna went up to the room and threw everything (well, almost everything) into our bags! We were packed and ready to go 15 minutes. Our awesome hotel (thanks George!) agreed to drive us to the port however just as we got to the travel place to exchange the tickets, we realized we forgot a bunch of stuff on the balcony. Anna jumped (forward roll ninja roll style) out of the car to exchange the tickets and I went back for the stuff.
I have no idea how we did it but we did it with time to spare! I can't believe we did all of it in 20 minutes! Although we were still in our damp bathing suits and cover-up we looked like the craziest people waiting for the ferry.
So, I'm writing this blog post from Sifnos eating Greek salad and Farmer's pizza (eggplant, tomatoes, onions, and artichokes.) A well deserved break before we depart for Santorini! Sifnos is gorgeous... mountains that go right to the sea, bars on the beaches... A quiet town.
Biggest score of the day, our hotel in Santorini is going to come get us at the port and are going to let stay a day early.
Next stop Santorini... Who knew!!!
