<p><p>It was different to sleep in port as there were boats tied up on either side of us. No privacy at all so luckily the others were a quiet bunch. We have been going to bed early, likely the fresh air is making us tired. Today we have a long sail to the Island of Kefalonia where we will stay the night. After another delicious lunch and swim in a quiet bay, we dock in Eufima where today's tour begins. We visit 2 caves (we've seen enough now) then a monastery built over the cave of St. Gerassimo who gave up all worldly goods to live in it. His mummified body lies in the chapel and people come from all over Greece to kiss his feet which is a cure for many things especially mental ailments. Although I may have benefited, his feet did not look too appetizing as he died in 1579!<br>
Bruce and Randy crawled down the 20 ft ladder to his tiny cave and decided to hang on to their worldly goods! There is a beautiful new church built here and the grounds are lovely. (see photo) The last stop is a winery and then back to our boat. Our captain doesn't like staying in port so we sail to a nearby bay they discovered and named Honeymoon Bay after the 2 caves on shore. <br>
We had a delicious meal - traditional Greek Beef Stefado. Off to bed rocked by the waves and the moon shining through the hatch.</p>
