Bye Bye Jet Lag!

I set my alarm this morning for 6:00 am and woke up on my own at 5:50 and could actually keep my eyes open. What did that mean?! Not more jet lag! I felt noticeable better and was thrilled to get back to my usual morning person self. We ate breakfast around 6:30 and then hopped on a bus around 7:00 to go pick up passengers and to get on a boat.

A million hours later, we ended up at the first island but seriously, it took like 2-3 hours. We don't know the exact time because we didn't realize it would take that long so no one really paid attention to the time. We got territorial over some lounge chairs and spent a good chunk of time chasing off other people and/or sleeping in the sun. 

Some of our group got suckered into Greek dancing with a band that started playing but that was about it until we reached the first island, Hydra.

 After a bit of shopping (we only spent like 45 minutes there, we were off again to the second island which was Poros.

More shopping commenced, more getting back on the boat commenced, and then we hit up the third and final island, Aegina (looks about the same, right?!). 

After wandering around this island for a bit (and yes, shopping/eating some more; at least I got a scarf out of it all), we got back on the boat and spent another few hours trying to get back to Athens. While the cruise was fun and pretty, it was kinda long and we spent a lot of time on the boat and in the sun. I'm still rocking back and forth now even though I've been on stable land for hours! 

We finished the night with some dinner and a final visit to the bakery we've been going to (had to cap off the trip with some baklava) and then came back to the hotel around 10:30. I've just been working on updated pics and posts and now I absolutely have to go to bed! I know I could've been a little bit more detailed in this post but it's already 12:15 am and we have to be out the door at 5:30 am to jump on the metro and head to the airport. We get into Romania some time in the afternoon and make it to Severin in the evening after a few hours of driving. So, tomorrow when I post my next post, it will be from my second home that I absolutely cannot wait to see again!
