The Islands

Well we’re in Ios, it was a long trip to get here but in the end it was definitely worth it.

The hostel were staying at, Franchescos, is awesome.  Its more like a small villa in itself.  Everyone on Ios is either Canadian or Australian.  Its nice b/c most speak english, however it sucks in that were not meeting people from crazy random places like we did in Barcelona.

They party hard here, similar to Barcelona.  Beach during the afternoon, late dinners, pubs from 12-3ish am then 3-7am at one of the main clubs here, and then finally we get to sleep until from 7 – 12..lol ¦its quite a difference from back home.

Went on a run with Cam, Billys friend that joined us for Greece.  We ran up to a little monastary at the top of a small mountain which was quite nice, then when we were running back we got chased by two dogs. lol I guess we were running on their territory.  Nothing like two barking dogs running full tilt towards you with teeth bared to put a little spring in your step!

Billy and I have little mopeds (dont worry mother were very safe and responsible on them), and yesterday we went to the other side of the island to watch the sunset.  We discovered a deserted beach with a huge rock formation facing west that we climbed all over and took pictures on.  It was gorgeous as the water was crystal clear, reflecting the sunset and allowing a view of the coral reefs surrounding us.  It was all so romantical, except that I was with Billy hahaha.  It was pretty cool though still.  At least the rock climbing made it manly, so its all good.

Were staying on Ios until Sunday, and then headed out to Naxos, Paros and Mykonos for next week.  So that should be fun, and hopefully well get to meet people from other countries as well.  Until then!
