· 5am wake up
· 6am Breakfast-hurried up to eat, stuffed crossiants, lunch meats, tomatoes, cucumbers, thank goodness for zip lock bags. What a great invention.
· 6:30am rode in taxi with a nice taxi driver who knew all the short cuts 15 Euros.
· 9:41 am on the calm sea, got kicked off the back deck. Apparently I didn’t see the sign that says, “Being in open compartments during travel is prohibited.” Oops, but I got lots of pictures of the port at Poros. Beautiful city. I can’t get over the way all the houses are stacked on each other. It is so beautiful.
· 9:46am Pulled into Hydra’s port. So wonderful, cobblestone roads and donkeys! There are no cars on the whole island or motorcycles. The only way to get around is by donkey, water taxi or your feet!!!
· 10:47am took water taxi to our four season hotel. Wow! Take pictures at hotel. Get ready to go to the beach. Breakfast on the beach.

· 7:15-7:45pm walked along trail. We took like a million pictures.
