Weekend at Poros!

The next morning I felt a bit hangover and I headed out to catch a bus 845 to Pireus around 9 o'clock. It was so packed that I barely fit in! Sweating like crazy I managed to get in and it took around 25-30 minutes to be in the familiar Pireus area. I basically walked straight into the boat where the man checking the tickets was a dick head. I paid two euros extra cause he didn't believe my student card and then it was fine.. On the way I bought a spinach pie which I ate on the deck. I was so super excited to whole way!! The boat left 10 am and arrived to Poros around 13..

Thanassis was there to meet me even tho he had broken both of his arms dropping down three metres trying to cut a branch from a tree.. We took a taxi to the hotel and I walked straight for lunch! After eating a headed to Kamares where you had to pay 5€ for using the pool and then I drank a radler there for old times sakes. Went to Romantza around four trying to find Jorgos but couldn’t find him. Took a nap instead and left for a walk to the center. I tried to look for Manos from the boats that go across to Galatas side but couldn’t find him. L Went to Oasis to eat and surprised people working there! So lovely it was! After the free beer in there I went to walk around and then to Unique for one drink where this American girl came to talk to me when she saw that I was alone. They actually had a course in Poros for two weeks with their teacher! The lessons were from 9-12.30 ja then from 18-19.30! In between they had free time there! We went out with the girls but the place was dead already at 2 am so we all headed home.

On Saturday morning Thannassis rang and woke me up at 9.30 for breakfast on the balcony. After I went to Panorama beach with free sunbeds when you ordered something worth 5€.  At 2 o’clock it was time for lunch with Thanassis and Angeliki and damn it was good!

Then I went to walk around and back to Romantza to see Jorgos and this time he was there! He was really happy to see me after couple of years! Drank beer with him and chatted. Then it was nap time and then I left a bit earlier to the center cause i wanted to see the sunset at the port! I waited for taxi quite a while but eventually got one. I walked around and found a nice bench to watch the sunset. First this Israelian Juyri came to talk to me trying get a picture of me, a pic together, my number and he also invited me to eat with them.. He was around 50 years-old.. Then after he left this homeless looking guy that was on the same boat with me came to talk to me. I felt sorry for him cause he seemed really sweet but then at the same time you could tell that everything wasn’t okey.. I tried to chat with him in greek a while and then continued when the sun was set.

At the boats I asked for Mano and they told me that I was standing in front of his boat that he must be somewhere to have a coffee! I went through all the places and eventually find him! His face was priceless! Almost started to cry! He is like my dad in Greece. Chatting with him for a while and drank Frappe and then he had to leave for work.

Then it was time for food in Oasis again and couple of glasses of wine. Sakis asked me to come back later for a wine if i wanted to. I left for Del Angelo for wine and I actually got offered two glasses from both the guys working there Christos and Kostas. After it got a bit more quiet Kostas came to talk to me and ended up being quite a nice guy actually. I went to meet Sakis and others in Oasis but they were just closing up. So I left with the guys from Del Angelo to Joy and then later to somewhere a bit further away. Then we left to beach with a car and then it was time to sleep around 7 am..  Then nice and fresh to breakfast at 9.30 am and then to Panorama beach with Kostas where we played rackettes! At two o’clock it was time for lunch again tho it was so so hot I couldn’t really eat anything!

After the lunch they ordered me a taxi and it was time for couple of tiers again. L I feel like they are my family! They didn’t take any money from me again for my stay. L I went to hang out in Kosta’s work place and he offered me a frappe and a water there.. Hangout with him there for maybe an hour until my boat came (15.55-17, flyingcat and I paid 12,5€ (-50%)) and it was time to go. L So confused feelings on the boat that I even cried a bit. That place is like my home and no one else can understand except for my sister.

I was a bit nervous with my ticket since the full price was 25€ and I had gotten -50% discount being a student. They didn’t ask anything and I just walked in. The ferry ride went so fast and before I noticed I was already in Athens. I was trying to find the same bus to go home with but i couldn’t find and it was like 35 degrees so I decided to take the train and change in Monastiraki to metro. I was at home 18.25 sweating like fuck! Viktoria and Athina left to stay somewhere else so I got the home to myself and ordered some food, washed laundry and went early to bed!
