Athens - cruise

We got this boarding ticket from our tour leader. We had to keep it and return to the ship captain when we returned from the second island..We only managed to visit two islands, Poros and Aegina instead of three due to the weather. That means we didn't visit Hydra.

ready to board the ship

awesome view

almost reaching Poros..

a small island

At 8.15 am, the ship sailed for three of the wonderful, beautiful Saronic Islands.
The visiting order of the islands was either Poros, Hydra then Aegina, or Aegina, Poros then Hydra. The visiting order did not change the duration of the stay on any of the islands.
Shortly after departure the guides and hostesses invited us to assemble in one of the lounges in order to give us information concerning the ship, the cruise program and the islands. This gave us the opportunity to ask any questions we might have. The trained staff ensured us having a fantastic day.
Within two hours we arrived in Poros, the smallest of the three islands. Poros was separated from the Pelopennese by a narrow strait, and the ship offered the best views of the enchanting Poros Town. We had approximately 50 minutes to take in this lovely village.

    Can't wait to see your photos taken on the two islands. I did not know that it takes that long - 2 hours - to reach an island. How was the cruise? Anyone got seasick?

    I will pray to heavens to bless my wish to visit Athens! I will definitely not join tours to any part of Europe. I prefer to be free and easy to see more places slowly.

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
