Alonissos, Greece - July 28, 2013

July 28, 2013 - we were up at 9:00 am (yes we were a bit surprised after being out late night) and had breakfast downstairs at the included buffet.  We then spent the day at the pool and had a short dip in the crystal clear waters of the ocean.  Had a nap in the afternoon and a drink at the pool bar in the early evening.  Then it was time for dinner around 9:45 pm.  Bessie and Kostas took us out for a dinner the way Greeks eat!  You start out by ordering Tsipouro (an ouzo like drink but better) and they will bring you food.  You order more Tsipouro and they bring more food.  We had baby squid, tuna salad (made with the best tuna in the world from Alonissos), anchovies, shrimp and cheese, prawns, a few kinds of fish, grilled octopus, baby crab and some other seafood.  We drank a lot of Tsipouro.  We then wandered down the row of bars on the waterfront and settled on the old people's bar when we could talk to and hear each other.  Had a couple of drinks there and ... holy smokes 3:45 am!  Bessie and Kostas have to work in the morning.  Yikes.  We felt bad.  Thanks to our hosts, Bessie and Kostas, for a great evening!
