4th August ok today finally got our arses off mykonos island caught a fast ferry to an island called paros. because we wernt staying at the busabout accomodation we stayed on the other side of the island called camping naousa. got there and we this time we were actually camping in a 3 man tent. costs us 17 euro a night for both of us to stay there which was pretty cool. had the cheapest pasta meal we have ever had from the mini market then it was superhero dress up night at the camping bar, i think there was maybe 8 people total. including staff in this outside room, ahaha crazy, i found a mexican hat and drew a mustache on my face and went as Nacho Libre. short notice i know but i wasnt the worst outfit believe it or not. there was of course rubbish bin man and underpants man. stayed up meeting a bunch of new people. back for a sleep in our dusty tent.the next day was amazing. we caught the bus into town and met the new busabout crew for an amazing boat cruise around paros and antiparos. it was on an old fashoned greek fishing boat with included drinks. as just coming from spain we started the calimouchos (red wine and coke mix) it was a hit with the rest of the crew. swam in amazing really salty blue water, and caught some more greek sun, because really i havent had enough already from mykonos. the boat cruise also included a huge traditional greek feed including greek salad, kebab sticks, tatziki, and of course octopus. and i actully ate some of that. wasnt too bad as well. drinking till we reached port again and walked around town and watched an amazing sunset on the beach. the night faded away and the cocktails flowed but we had enough of the awsome day and called it a night and retreated back to the tent. the morning started with a bicker with stacey. living, breathing, eating, sleeping, sight seeing and laughing for 3 months with the same person gets tough at times. both said a few colourful words too each other, spent a few hours apart then hired a scooter for the rest of the day together. my new stupid camera stopped working for no apparent reason and of course i chucked out the warrenty because i couldnt read it anyway. aggggghhh not to worry. we rode all around the island and i was white knuckled the whole way when stacey as driving. i wouldnt drive on the main roads but any side street or less busy street i would drive. all around the island the scenery was pretty dam crappy. it was really dry and barron with the occational tiny church along the way. when we got to a built up touristy resort, thats where all the people were. i have no idea what the greek do on the non tourist season. crazy. driving and riding on scooters all day is exhausting so we went for a nap, in the mindset that we would try and go back out but our lylos were way too comfy and we couldnt get up.the nest morning was spent riding the scooter until we had to give it back at midday. went to some more secluded beaches and swam in the amazing water but we both came to the conclusion that this island looks and reminds us of good old rottnest island. that dry beachy town with old run down houses. and the water up near exmouth and lancelin is just as blue as this water. still surprised with the lack of vegetation and the surroundings gave the wheels back and spent the afternoon in town and on the beach. finally brought myself some new shoes, sneakers and threw out my old trusty dcs that took me through many of concerts and raves. back for some internet time and then into our dusty stinky tent for the last time, thank god for that.
