May 19 Exploring the caves

This morning I woke up at 5:30 as usual and enjoyed the sunrise to myself. Abby got up to make us breakfast at about 6:30. She made French toast with a pineapple and rum sauce, yogurt, fruit plate, cheese and meat plate and even glutin free food for Colleen and Eve.

I got to try out the stand up paddle board and do an out side the boat tour.

We motored south to Kefalonia for lunch near a cave. I got to swim the line ashore for the long stern line mooring. In Canada it’s too cold to swim the line ashore.

We had a great lunch and some down time and then back to explore the cave. The cave is where they get putty so it is kind of a greasy rocky stuff inside.

There is a herd of goats that live on the cliffs overlooking the cave. Many of them have bells on them so you can hear them coming.

Apparently, the goats like to sleep inside the cave. We climbed up the cliff and then walked along the road to the town of Fiskardo, another cute little quaint, marina side town with shops and restaurants every few feet. There is a lot of of that here.

In town we stopped at a cafe and had more drinks and then at another bar and had more drinks. I had ice cream. We have been reminded to stay hydrated. I think it is supposed to be water,

After our shore excursion, instead of walking the 30 minutes back to the cave and boat, we all crammed in the dingy for the 10 minutes ride back.

We had some down time (naps) before dinner.

After dinner we had a great discussion on the merits of electric cars – Laird just bought a Ford Lightning for one of his crew. He hasn’t driven it yet. We also heard lots about drag racing.
