On to the islands... first stop, Kea

  Kea, Cyclades, Greece

I wake up to an equally awe-inspiring sunrise over the temple and we set sail to the island of Kea.  We arrive nice and early for a full day ashore.  Time at the beach on our newly purchased rafts floats us to a cute one room church on the rocks above the water.  We hitchhike up to the main city of Chora and see the famous Kea lion.  On the way back down I play a heated match of super giant chess with Jessie (another guy on the boat) and we have a group dinner at a small taverna on the water. 


Drinks at the café next to our docked boat turn into more drinks with the locals after everyone else falls asleep and I wind up having the wonderful idea of trying out a mustache for the second time in my life... the look still doesn't work for me!
