On a Beach in the Sun on a Beautiful Day

"...our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we'd stay afloat and make the most of everything
the sun would set, the stars would shine..."

Day 4, Part 2: Patmos

After we left Turkey, we headed back to the Greek side of the Aegean to port in Patmos. At one point, we cruised through a slim margin of water between two large pieces of land- one side was Asia, and one side was Europe...it was pretty incredible. Once we arrived on Patmos, we pursued the streets and shops, and ended up stopping at a cafe by the sea to have wine, Mythos (Greek beer), and a cheese platter.



Tim and Chris purchased cheap masks and snorkels because the water was so clear. Tim decided it was necessary to "test" the equipment while at the restaurant:


After we ate, the boys decided to go for an impromptu swim in the Patmos harbor:


Once back on the ship, we attended a "Greek-themed" dinner in the formal dining hall. Because the Greek flag is blue and white, attire was supposed to match...Cheers to a good trip so far!


Our fabulous travel companions...(can't wait until next time!)


At dinner, our awesome waiter made us order only in Greek (no English allowed), and insisted that we eat everything on our plates. If there was food leftover, he considered it his responsibility to feed us...


Later that night, we went to the disco and had fun watching the kids dance (Marisa even taught a few of them the Electric Slide!) Chris rockin' the Bob Marley shirt and vest...
