Greek Islands

Woke up early and got up to watch the sunset.
Islands of goats - Polyaigis at sunrise. Not quite like Fremantle sunrises but still impressive. Breakfast then a swim on Poliegos Island. No people, just goats, although we didn't see any. The water was crystal clear but stony. Like Brighton. The water was pretty salty and beautiful.
Our boat on right side. The other 2 were intruders on our beach!
Lunch on the boat while we sailed to  Folegandros. 
We enjoyed a beer on the beach.
We were driven across country to another small village - Chora. Very rocky and big hills. No signs of life anywhere. The little village was beautiful. We had a short tour. Wonderful to see it is exactly like the postcards. Very white buildings with mostly blue trim and doors  but also lavender and green. Stunning scenery.
We wandered through the village then walked up the very big hill to see the sunset from the church. A long zig zag walk that we thought would never end. The view from the top was well with it. 
the church
the zig zag walk!
We then went back to the village for dinner. Airways beautiful places to eat.
This was so tasty!
We caught the 9.30 bus back to the boat. A lovely day.

My last day in Bologna

Up early this morning for my free coffee and brioche. I did rest before I went. A delightful breakfast! the noodles were ok but I didn't drain the tuna enough so it was a bit wet - yuk! But it was protein! I thought I would walk to the railway station today to see if it was ok for tomorrow. It's an easy route which is good.  It was a lovely walk. Lots of shops but also historic sites that I would never have found otherwise. it looks like the Gateway of India. No clue. the railway station. the same gateway from the other end. It looks like a most around it with ruins - maybe Roman. those look very deep - maybe something to do with the canals. it was a fun find. the across a road there's was this.  and this? It looked like the whole lot of it was a welcome to the city. The only thing I could find was from Google maps. Bologna, Emilia-Romagna http...

I've done the packing but I've got too much stuff. Only 4 sleeps so need to sort this soon. Apart from packing there's the garden, a tree to be sorted, bookings still to be sorted..... Another day and a relook and a repack and all is well. Everything fits and the bag was easy to do up! That means room for expansion. 😊  Now it's only 2 sleeps.
