Yesterday morning, Joanna and I woke up ready to spend the weekend partying and relaxing on some ilsand. So we took the train to the port. Of course we wanted to switch at Omonia but the train did not go there so we had to go backwards a stop. Anyway. We got to the port and we had missed all the boats for Hydra and for Spetses. So we decided to suck it up and take the dolphin. But we would have to wait three hours for it. We want and sat for at Cafe Veneti. That place has some good looking foods. I got the chance to write out all my postcards and letters and stuff so it was cool. The dolphin was kind of shaky but not too bad. When we got to Spetses, it was cold and raining and there were absolutely no people out. So Joanna stood outside for a little while and I tried to find a hotel. I went into to hotels and that was about it. We chose Hotel Klimis. They lady told me 10,000 a night and when I said that to the man he seemed pissed but he could not do anything. So then we went for a walk. It was a cute island but totally dead. All the places close for winter I guess. We sat at a cafe for coffee. We played backgammon and checkers. It was weird because we really have nothing to say to each other. It is not a bad thing and I did not care but it gets kind of boring. After a while some people started coming. There were actually a lot of good looking guys and there was an abundance of guys too. I don't even know how many hours we sat there. Finally we decided to go and eat. We went to this Italian place. The guys inside was really nice to us. Probably because we were his only customers. By the time we finished we were ready to pass out and it was only 10pm/ We went to the hotel and went to sleep. All I can say about the entire day was that it was an experience. We should have done a lot of things differently. In the morning, we woke up and I went to find out about boats. Joanna did not want to sit on a boat for six hours so we decided to take the dolphin again. We walked to the other side of the port and saw more cute stuff. Then we sad and had what I though was very good coffee. But were were sitting outside so I did not last too long. We walked a little more and then had more time to kill. So we went and sat at the hotel. Once again, we just sat and looked at each other. Finally it was time to go. There ride back was pretty bad. Then dolphin dropped us off and we were not sure where we were. So we started walking and when we asked where the train stop was, they said it was a fifteen minute wlak. So we started walking. Joanna got mad at me because I did not let her help me carry my bag. We had no clue where we were going again so we asked and we were in between two train stops. I suggested calling her aunt so that is what we did. We took a cab to her bakery. Thank God the cabbie was really nice because he could have screwed us over. When we got there her uncle took us to the house and have us spaghetti. Now her aunt came home and we are going to sit. I forgot to mention what we saw yesterday on our way to Vicky. We walked past McDonalds and they had a huge sign for McLent.
