Yes today is our last full day aboard the "Kristen". What a memorable holiday. I must talk about the food. Simone the first mate and trained chef prepares amazing meals with great presentation! All this done from a small galley and as you are often at sea, preplanning is important. Happily the feta cheese has not been "goaty" as we are not big fans of goat cheese. Simone tends to buy sheep or cow feta. The tomatoes taste like the tomatoes we grew up eating. I will now be using eggplant in my cooking. Her desserts are delicious too. Every day around 5 we have the captain's cocktail which has given me some good drink recipes. Our only exercise is swimming, although getting your swimsuit on and off when you are in a small space and sweating seems to be a work out too. We did walk this morning as we were in port, one of only 2 nights.<br>
We have really enjoyed this experience but weather and your cabin mates would have an effect. We lucked out in both; you need to be flexible and Ok in confined spaces as the cabins are small. Tis a small price to pay to be able to see these wonderful islands in the Ionian up close. Today we found another beauty, Papa Nicholas bay with it's own cave and mountainous underwater scenery. A great place to end our most wonderful adventure. We head into the harbour of Nidri where we will disembark tomorrow morning. For our last dinner together we walk to the Catamaran restaurant and treat our hosts to a Greek/Italian meal. Then we stroll the busy streets- everyone is out and about, shopping, dining and kids playing on their bikes even though it is after 10pm. We have a nightcap on the boat and talk avoid the great time we've had. We will always treasure our memories!!>
