October 22 - Day 5

What a day! We had a very relaxing morning and managed to get to the ferry in time for our trip to Syros. Theo and Bas surprised us by making the ferry. We were worried that they wouldn't make the connection.

On Syros we locked our bags at the port and went to meet Joanna (one of the dancers from Saturday's performance) at Boheme, a cafe/bar owned by Sotiris. He welcomed us, offered shots of rum & glasses of wine. Coffee is not a word in his vocabulary!! 


John had an intense discussion with a young student about "end of life" counselling 
and Sotiris decided that John would be his companion at the end of his life!
John is not napping...just one of those unfortunate photo moments!


Interesting place...great music!


It is easy to spend hours in these cafe/bars with a single drink.

Because we still had many hours until the ferry we decided to visit a new little cafe/bar in the old upper portion of town, high above the port. Jason and Vassilis greeted us with wine and mezes. It was a charming little place. 

From there we had to taxi down to Joanna's apartment where her mother was preparing dinner for eight of us. Of course it was delicious!! Then a race to the port where we decided to reserve a cabin for the seven hour trip to Kos. Whew!!! Another kaleidoscope day!!!
