Day 108...My big fat Greek gyro - 12th October

Up around 10, had a breakky of fruit and yoghurt on our balcony. Then we dropped some washing of near the bus stop and caught the bus to Paradise beach. It was our last full day, and the least overcast day so far, so we had to try some beach action! We bussed across the island, which has no trees at all. Just lots of dry grass and scattered rock, the occasional whitewashed house, chickens and donkey.

Paradise Beach itself would be a lot nicer when sunny, but still not the best to fly over specifically for it. The sand was quite gritty, the water looked clear and nice. But the beach was dotted with cheap sss looking contiki type bars and felt a bit dodgy. None of that celebrity type stuff they like to hype (then again, Nice was pretty pox as well~!) We sat and lounged at an outdoor table on the beach, and had cocktails and gyros. Gyros are like kebabs, but small and alot tastier. They even have chips in them! (The KFC type, not smiths crispt type). There wasn't much to do, so we were racing back to catch the bus when we ran into Olwen! We had a quick hellow, but then had to keep dashing.

did some more internet and some window shopping. Later on, we decided we wanted soem more gyros. They are dirt cheap and tasty, and we could spend more money on booze. We happened up on a place that was packed to the rafters with locals and going like hotcakes. And the gyros were really, really good. After that, we went back to our 2 for 1 cocktail place and had a fair few. Unfortunatly the most uppity inane group of rich republican yankees were across from us. Very much doing nothing but college and spending their parents money and had no idea on the world but their own and we wanted to slap them. But we drank harder instead. yay! Headed back to the gyro place but it was closed! We found another one, good but not as good, and took them home. Met a nice aussie lady staying in the room downstairs and had a chat. Then ate our gyros and went to bed.

PS oh I forgot! You can't put toilet paper down the toilet anywhere in greece. You have a little paper bin, and after you wipe your ass - you have to put it in there. Gross.
