Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me

Arr Mateys!
Get ready for this one because this one's a keeper!
Our third group trip was a boat cruise around the islands of Thickly Baba and Sfaktiria and a beach party on the Golden Beach for the rest of the day.

We rented two boats which once we were clear from the harbour, we were able to stand of its sides and enjoy the view .... Absolutely beautiful!

We briefly jump off the boats to explored Delikli Baba which is the part of Sfakteria with the gap in the middle (to the left of the picture.) It is breath-taking... 
We took pictures and jumped ship to the neighbouring island where we took more picture!
The boat ride was wonderful, the water was such a nice hue of blue and the waves! They were huge --- the boat was going up and down, up and down... The view was picturesque and it was so relaxing --- just sitting on the edge of the boat and taking it all in... I'm going to have a hard time leaving this place!

 At the beach, the hotel had arranged to bring our dinner there. It was great, eating at the beach, swimming and having a jolly ol' time! I even summed up my courage and went for a dip in the ocean! (FYI: I don't do water, unless I can see what's beneath me... And let me tell you --- the water is so nice and clear, oh my God!) Friends and I played monkey in the middle with a volleyball which turned out to be a freaking good time! 

After a day at the site, this boat cruise/beach day was a perfect way to finish another day in Pylos!
