The Donkey Capitol of the World
Although it took a fair while to get off the Costa Fortuna by tender, we transfered onto an old styled Greek fishing boat. Just for something to do other than look at ruins or old buldings we decided to climb the local volcano and swim to a warm spring.
I think the guides and sailors of this boat didn't know quite what to make of our lot (especially Joe of course). They were climbing around no worries, as you can see.
Don't I just love having my photo taken....... You can really see what Brian's thinking can't you.
We particularly liked this sign...
Relax and Be Happy , a great senti
ment for sure. Although I didn't think to bring my cellphone with me as I swam from the boat. Maybe he means, give him a call and he'll grab his mobile to put in a rescue call ?
Could've been quite a nice photo, just can't get the models. Although Joe's previous modelling experience seems to be showing.
After the Island trip we returned to the main Island and had the choice of either waiting (again) to catch the cable car, walk or take a donkey. Actually, we didn't have any choice at all as Joe was extremely keen to take the donkey. Once at the top it is truly beautiful, the blue of the sea and sky and the white houses, just like the postcards.
I've been playing around with Picasa again, thought I'd try a photo collage instead of a slide show for a change, what ya think? Just click on the picture to enlarge.
