Day 6

GREECE | Thursday, 9 June 2011 | Views [236]

We had a rest day today, so instead of kayaking, we hired a scooter and scootered around the island. To be honest, I would have been as happy to have gone snorkelling, but gf wanted to go on a trip, and I just want the quiet life.

The scenery is quite nice - Poros is a part of the verdant, hilly part of Greece.

Yeah babes.

Us outside some monastery.

OK, so that was not too painful. The evening was a lot better - we went on a night time kayak trip along the coast again, and because we had an extra kayaker - Katrina, the owner of the hotel, took a night off to come out with us, so gf and I volunteered to go in a two-seater kayak :)

I guess we went probably 3k down the coast, then stopped to watch the sunset. The instructor wanted to do some more rescue exercises, but because gf and I were in the tandem we couldn't do them. Shucks.

Being two women, we haven't always been able to keep up with the guys, but tandem kayaks go a lot faster so not only were we keeping up with them, we were speeding home ahead :)

Back home in Finland, gf and I have spent quite a lot of time in a tandem, and by now our twin drill is pretty damn good. I think that we control the boat really well as a team, the result of hours of practice and more than a few arguments last year :)

I didn't take my camera, so sadly I have no pictures from the night trip.
