I got off to a bad start yesterday, as I was in a very ditzy mood. Firstly, I packed my bag and walked down to the private hotel beach to have a swim. I got there, after walking down the very steep path and steps only to realise I didn’t have my sexy rubber shoes, and it hurts my feet too much trying to clamber over the rocks in the water. It’s a lovely looking beach too and I haven’t been in yet. Gutted!

 So, back up the very steep steps and in to my hotel room. I found the shoes, re-arranged my bag, and decided to head off to the ferry for Telendhos instead of going back down to the beach. I walked the 20 or so minutes to the ferry jetty, up and down and up and down some more. I got there just in time for the next ferry leaving, hopped on, opened my bag to take out my camera and…….yep, no bloody camera!!!! I contemplated, for about a second, to go without it but knew I’d end up regretting if I did. So , off I went back to the hotel for a second time, re-packed back ,picked up camera, double checked and checked again, and went back to the jetty, eventually leaving for the island 10 minutes later.

It was a pretty place, not much there. I had a walk, a swim and a sunbath. Had an early dinner at “On the rocks” looking out to sea and thinking a lot about my travels and where I’ve been and where I’m headed. I then set off up to the cliff to see the sunset, passing a church and some pretty houses along the way.

It was a nice place to visit after all the hoo ha with my forgetful packing! And worth it for another beautiful sunset.
