Anyone who knows me knows that I am a great swimmer, but detest swimming at any spot when I cannot see what is at the bottom. You know what though, when will be the next time that I swim in the Mediterranean? Let alone the Hot Springs in SANTO freaking RINI!
So yes, I jumped ship… Lol, I didn’t walk the plank… and Thee MU! The water was AMAZING. The minute I got in, Lianne and I justified the cold-ish temperature with the fact that we’re freaking Canadians --- we can do anything… Especially when it involves COLD!
The water was such a nice light aqua colour and if you looked down, you could see as far as your own feet…. So I was good…ISH!
We reached the hot springs in no time and you knew for sure when you had reached them! The water turned all mucky clay-ish brown-red and the water was nice and Whirlpool-ly. I couldn’t stand touching the goo-ey bottom, but I found a rock to rest my feet on and Lianne and I enjoyed the moment. Some people were giving each other mud baths at the shore, but the water was much too nice to go anywhere else.
At one point, Lianne and I were kidding around about finding Fred’s domain, “Oh Fred!!!! We’re here! Come and get us!!! “ “Hey Olga you old geezer! Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah-nah!”
We swam back to the ship and continued our adventure at sea.
I’m so so so so so happy I just went for it and jump into the water --- I said this already, but it was absolutely GORGEOUS and it was such a wonderful way to cool off after hiking up Mt. Non-Obvious!
We were all getting pretty hungry and the ship’s next stop was to the neighbouring island of Thirassia. It is the most traditional island still around with a population of only (approximately) 200 locals. There were a bunch a taverns by the shore and we had a few hours to kill, so Lianne and I went to lunch where I had swordfish souvlaki ---- holy cow! Delicious!
This stop was really to re-energize and take it easy… And thank goodness for that because our next and last stop was full of wonderful (?) little surprises.
