We didn't have anything locked in until this afternoons traditional BBQ dinner overlooking the sunset. So we had the whole day to play and explore. Shannon and I had breakfast and then walked down one of the side streets to hire some push bikes. I loved riding the bikes along the road. Although it was a bit weird because in Australia we drive on the other side of the road. So going around roundabouts was a bit strange over here.
We road down to the bubble park (inflatable water park). Which would of been a half an hour walk but only took a 5 or so minutes by bike.
Shannon and I pitched our towels under a tree and went for a swim. It was amazing. The water was a beautiful temperature and was so clear. After about 5minutes in the water my eyes started to sting and burn. Like they did when I was in Venice. I went and laid down on my towel and closed my eyes to try and make them stop stinging. After a little while Sylvia another chick that I got along with quite well out of the top deck tour group came over to say hi. She suggested to try and flush out whatever was in my eye. And we used my water bottle to flush out my eyes. It actually works. Turns out it was my sunscreen that was burning my eyes. It wasn't water proof so it ran. Shannon went and played in the bubble park while Sylvia and I sun baked and chatted. Such a nice day. We were so blessed with nice weather this trip so far.
After going for another swim we decided that we would head up to the shops and get some lunch. We ended up going to the supermarket and getting some fresh fruit and snack good for our bags. And we just had to visit the bar we went to yesterday go get another fresh fruit smoothie.
Late in the afternoon we went and swam in the pool before getting ready for dinner. We had a traditional BBQ dinner on the outdoor balcony over looking the sunset.
The sunset was just magical. And the food wasn't too bad either. After dinner we went to a shisha bar which was only a could minutes walk away from our hotel.
I had never done shisha before and I didn't really know what to expect. They gave us a free shot and a few free green apple shishas to try. I put my hand up to go first. I wasnt sure why I did, maybe to just say that I have done it.
I tried the shisha and it wasn't too bad. Although the aftertaste was horrible. After a few of us tried it they told us that it has tobacco in it. Not being a smoker no wonder I hated the taste.
Quite a few of us did it and then most of the group headed back to the hotel.
A few of the girls and I walked back to the hotel. We wandering into a few clothes stores, a cathedral and a lolly shop on the way back.
Paros is amazing. I would definitely recommend it.
