First of all, just to mention… I make no apology for the number of Images throughout my Blogs, featuring the local moggies 🐈‍⬛🐾❤

Just as we had done the previous morning, up and out early Tuesday to catch the 07.15 hours bus to Apollonia. The plan had been to then take the 11.00 hours bus to Vathi, spend a relaxing day at the beach, returning on the 16.25 hours bus via Apollonia, in time for Anna to catch her ferry… she thought 🤔 was departing at 18.45 hours.

As we strolled along “To Stenó” … the picturesque pedestrian street in Apollonia, Anna happened to stop by and check the ferry timetables in a window. Oops! … mistake! The scheduled departure time of Hellenic Seaways ferry Artemis was, in fact, 16.45 hours. Buggar… no time to return from Vathi.

So, after enjoying breakfast at Tselementes Kafeneio-Ouzeri, caught the bus back to Artemonas where we had been the day before, eventually returning to Margarita Restaurant. Made the most of the opportunity to do more catching up, whilst sipping homemade lemonades, later ordering lunch… a Greek Salad with Mizithra and Kaperi, Ankináres (Artichokes) and a half kilo of white wine.

Somehow we had led ourselves to think our bus was leaving at 15.00 hours so plenty of time. When a number of customers got up and left around 14.00 hours, we weren’t bothered. To cut a long story short, we missed the bus, there were no taxis available in Artemonas and we walked back to Apollonia where Anna managed to summons a cab.

After Anna finished packing, sat in our courtyard drinking peach juice and eating cake Theodora had made and very kindly left in our room. Precious moments before walking to the Port… farewelling Anna on time, bound for Lemnos via Syros.

So many wonderful memories made together… until next time, who knows where, who knows when.
