Early morning... well 9.30 is early morning here, we set off for our boat. There are masses of people. We learn it is the busiest day of the year. Instead of one boat, there are three! We are lucky and get a seat, while others have to stand for the one hour trip out to the Island. It is possible to drive to Balas which is about four hours along a dirt road full of corrugations and holes. We thought a 1 hour cruise sounded just fine. As you watch the photos, you will see the road streaking across the island. At one point we can see a line of cars at the crest of the hill. We assume they are having coffee at the taverna, but no - that is as far as they can drive. They have a forty minute walk down a steep track to the ocean. later in the day we watch them hike back up! The Cruise is sounding better all the time.
The cruise though packed with people is really relaxing. Nothing like the magical blue of the meditteran sea.
