So, the next day in Kefalonia we decided to go to the famous Myrtos beach. We asked our very nice hotel concierge how to get there. She called us a cab and we met Gus. Gus thought up a crazy way of making money by driving us around all day. He would drive us to Myrtos for 20 euros, later go back to the hotel in Sami and pick up our luggage, drive back to Myrtos and get us and then drive us over to Fiskardo to catch our next ferry to Lefkada. We made it there with plenty of time to spare, chilled out and got a coffee and then got on the boat.
The boat was not as luxury as our first one. In fact, it was quite dull. But we got to watch the sunset as we motored over to Lefkada. We got into Vasiliki around 9 at the same time. My Lonely Planet guide (aka my BIBLE right now) recommended this hotel that was relatively cheap. It had good views and was close to the ferry dock. We miraculously found it but they had no rooms. They referred us over to Apollo Hotel, 200 meters up the road that was sure to have rooms. We walked in and by miracle of miracles, they had a room available. My Grandma Oney always tells me that I lead a 'Charmed Life' and I think I am feeling the full effects of it. The hotel was even cheaper than the first! We went to dinner in town right on the water at this Italian/Greek Restaurant. They served us massive amounts of pasta and we actually got doggie-bags to bring it home.
We went back to the hotel and a motor bike passed us. As we were waiting at reception for the concierge (aka Euro Baby's Red-Haired Twin accd to Maggie) the man on the motor bike turns around. He may or may not have fallen in love with me in that instant and was like, let's go have a drink! What are you doing now? Maggie and I promptly replied that we were going to sleep.
After a great sleep, we wandered around town. We sorted out getting a bus to Lefkada town where we are now. We are going to take a cab down to the airport and take a regional flight to Athens. Tonight we will stay there before catching a high speed ferry down to Santorini for the next few days. I didn't have time to blog before now but now all my faithful's are caught up on our details.
