Diving in Anti Paros!!

Well here we are, finally, no internet where we've been.. I think we have discovered the only comp on the whole island now!! So, we been chillin on this dot in the Med for 4 nights already now..Its a tiny island off of Paros, which is much bigger and more commercial.. only a quick 30 minute boat trip though but so much more low key and s-l-o-w....

Rich has just finished his Open Water course yesterday - woohoo!!! And so today we dove as buddies, yay! Down to an Italian wine cargo ship wrecked off the coast 50 years ago and visability was a fab 25 metres....Second dive of today was another reef nearby where we saw tonnes of Moray eels, went down to about 25m and were down for 35mins or so.. Awesome down there.. We're really getting in to it.. And so much more to come!! but not here, tomorrow is just for relaxing then we're off on another boat back to Athens for a 530am flight on Friday morning.. ughh..

But anyways, back to diving.. Also got to rip around on a DPV which was wicked! That's one of those James Bond type underwater propulsion things you hang on to and steer around.. fun stuff.. Our instructor was showing off doing spirals and crashed head first into the sand and sea weeds.. Island life is all about scooters, watching sunset, meandering down the little main street, drinking Mythos beer and eating lots of gyros (kebabs)..Can't get much better...

We missed a week though in the installments, that was when we were on Santorini island for 3 nights, before here. that was killer too, more scooting, volcanic beaches, sunsets to die for and a room for 20€ a night...Spinach and feta filos, more gyros (kebabs again!!), tsaziki and yummy bread.. A mammoth 9 hour ferry from Athens which kick started the whole trip *not to be repeated, it's pretty harsh* and sun sun sun!!! Most days are about 30 degrees, not a cloud in the sky.. But the wind at night is pretty chilly.. Lots of dogs running around, very friendly people and I don't know what else to say!

ps... we finaly found the internet but dont have the camera on us! doh!! so no pictures again... we have some rip snorters but ya'll will just have to wait..

bye bye... gyros time
