Sorry today’s post will be brief, but it is again very late here! Today we went on our wonderful cruise to three Greek Islands: Hydra, Poros, and Aegina.

First, we enjoyed an hour and a half cruise to the furthest island of Hydra. We really only had about an hour or so on each, so we just had some time to walk around a little bit, peek into shops, and grab something refreshing to eat or drink. Hydra was probably the most picturesque island that we visited, famous for the white-washed houses overlooking the sapphire blue mediterranean sea. After that, we came closer in to the next island of Poros, where we only had about 45 minutes. They call this island the ice cream island, because you really only have enough time to get some ice cream, and that is exactly what we did. Raspberry sorbet hit the spot. Finally, we went to the final island of our cruise - Aegina. We had the most time on Aegina, and it was very fun. Because of the extra time, a group of people from our group found a close public beach, where we swam. The water was so incredible! For the entire cruise I had been seeing the incredibly blue water, and now I was swimming in it. Somewhere between warm and cold, the currents felt amazing as the water temperature changed as the waves came in, and it felt extremely refreshing. After being in the water for probably an hour or so (playing some games, swimming, and just hanging out) we headed back to the boat for our hour long ride back into the mainland of Greece. This was happily spent sunbathing at the front of the boat, occasionally dozing a little bit as the wind whipped calmly across the boat.
Once we returned to the hotel, we headed out for our last Greek meal. A Greek favorite, we had to go for another gyro! Gyros include a specially prepared meat, tziziki sauce, pita, tomato, and lettuce. As usual, it was delicious. Definitely a satisfying way to end the trip! Because it was so late, we just headed back to the hotel and now here we are, 18 minutes past 11, and it is definitely time for bed after an exhausting day!
