Skopelos Island

The next morning we took a ferry out to Skopelos Island and when we arrived an older man came right up to us and asked if we needed a room. His hotel was only 50 meters away and we could see the port and all the sun rising in the morning! We walked around town and ate dinner at one of the few places open. I ordered a portion of chicken, and recieved a whole one! It was so delicious but I didn't need to eat until lunch the next day. The island is being completely redone for the summer time and we are the only touriste in town. We try what little greek we know and everyone laughs, I feel like the talk of the town, but I don't mind at all! We found an internet cafe and Andy and I play chess, and I am imroving! The next day we spend the morning at a beach on the other side of the island. A bus drops us off. There is no one else here and we dip into the ocean which is so cold that I lose all feeling, until Jessica points out that there are jelly fish. So i guess we aren't totally alone!!! Not sure when the bus comes back we decide to walk to the nearest town. Once there they tell us it is another hour wait, so we continue to walk. But we are tired from being in the sun all afternoon, and after about 4km we find a random bus stop and sit and wait. The bus arrived 20 minutes later, so it worked out well. We ate dinner at the other local spot in town and I tried octopus pasta. It was good, but I don't fancy the suckers still been on:) So many cute shops with tunics and sandals, but they were mostly remodeling for the summer so we didn't have luck with purchasing.
