Screw the plan! I am just not an island girl, there is way too little to do besides shop or bake in the sun! I spent the morning on Golden beach and that was enough beach time for me. Tomorrow I'm headed for Athens, which should have a hell of a lot more to do. And if I stay this far ahead of schedule? Well maybe there's a couple of trains from Thessoloniki that will detour me into other countries before ending up in Croatia...

In Paros today, waiting at yet another bus stop. Hey Dad? You really need to teach me how to drive stick this winter because finding automatic is a b**** in Europe. After exploring for the rest of the day I get to figure out how to call my bank from over here as all the machines seem to hate my debit car and I'll be running a little low on cash in another day or two. Here's hoping its an easy fix.
