Naxos

Hi Everyone-
We enjoyed the red-eye from Kennedy Monday afternoon , flying directly into Athens after a ten hour flight. From there, we went to the apartment, crashed for a couple of hours and then caught a high speed ferry to Naxos, one of the cyclades islands. What a beautiful place to visit! Our accomodations here is actually a two bedroom apartment that has a spectacular mountain view. We spent most of our days scouting out the best beach and our nights- the best food!!
Tomorrow we take another ferry to Andros. We will stay there until Monday when we return to Athens. We are looking forward to the new Archeological Museum at the base of the Acropolis. Until then....

Molokini Crater & Turtle Town




Today we took a boat at 8:00 in the morning to the Molokini Crater. This is a small island close to Maui. It is a volcano crater so people dont live there. We snorkeled for about an hour there and after we hopped back on the boat and went to Turtle Town. At Turtle Town we snorkeled and saw a ton of cool fish that are only found in Hawai'i. Niko even saw a Giant Green Sea Turtle!

On the way back we almost got lost!!!! But, thankfully we found our way back.

Today we were very soar from the intense hiking that we did the day before. So when we arrived at the beach we were chilling out when we noticed a seal had come to shore to rest. Here is a picture of the seal taken by Nicole:
