Day 11 Mykonos to Naxos

We were collected this morning for our ferry trip to Naxos.  While waiting at the port for the ferry we met a Brisbane woman called Geraldine.  Her big claim to fame was that she went to Melbourne in 1958 on a working holiday and was an extra in On the Beach where she met Gregory Peck.  She also told us she has friends doing the Arctic cruise from Dover on July 2nd aand told us to look out for an attractive couple about 60 plus in age, called Leah and Stewart Marlow.  At Naxos we were taken to the Lagos Mare hotel.  We are very happy with the hotel.  The rooms are spacious, we have a view of the sea to ur left and a view of fields with hay to our right.  We also have a very large balcony.  when we arrived we were given coffee and cake at reception.  Greek hospitality knows no bounds.  We met some Australians, Jackie and Trevor when we were looking around the resort.  They told us that the beach which is one of the best in Europe is only a 10 minute walk away.  Bill and I walked to the beach to have a look around.  There is a white mark down the side of the road which provides a narrow walkway, so walking is not nearly as hair raising as it was in Mykonos.  Also, the traffic is considerably lighter.
We had a late afternoon swim in one of the two pools here.  The staff here cannot do enough for us.  tonight we had dinner here.  The chef at our hotel is supposed to e one of the best chefs in Greece.  Judging from the quality of our meal, I can believe it.  We had pre dinner drinks, dips, main course and dessert and it cost less than that dreadful one course at the Shirley Valentine restaurant.
