oday I again frequented Fanari beach for a short tan and swim
and then returned to Spartohori on the 1:00pm bus. I then went for walk down to
the bay to see what new additions had been made to the island since I last
visited. I love everything about this place. The walk down the hill is scenic
as the path down is adorned with Cyprus trees and undergrowth paving the way to
the dock where the ferry and numerous boats are moored. My father told me that
his primary school class planted the Cyprus trees some 55 years ago!
The walk down to Spillia bay
I spent the rest of the afternoon
perched on the beach in a café reading a book and drinking frappe- definitely
not a bad way to pass some time. I accidentally fell asleep in the sun and made
the trek back up to town feeling slightly sorry for my beetroot self.

On the
way home I decided to visit Lakis taverna to say hello to Ulla, Lakis and their
son Spiros. Spiros is an adorable 18 year old boy, who in my eyes, will always
be the 12 year old boy who snuck into my house 6 years ago and surprised me
with a homemade bow and arrow to my head- cute right?! I stayed there for
dinner, and later went to Vathi, the next town, with Spiros on his scooter to
meet some more people for drinks.
The crowd is different to a few
years ago, and for the first time I was one of the oldest there! Luckily for
me, everyone was convinced I was lying about my age and counted me as being 20
years old. I love Greece!
