I realized that I have not mentioned something that has been going on since the start of our trip with Sloane. \u00a0Basically, Seth has been offering Sloane money, and Sloane has been turning it down, every time. \u00a0It started out with easy stuff like, “Sloane, if you invite that guy to join us for dinner, I’ll give you 20 bucks,” and without fail Sloane has turned him down. \u00a0I think the number to date reaches over $1000 that she’s refused so far. \u00a0Anyhow, there’s this one feral cat that hangs around the ‘main drag’ of Vis. \u00a0The standing bet is that Sloane gets, I think, $250 if she throws the cat into the harbor overhand. \u00a0This bet stands as long as we’re in Vis (or if Sloane ever comes back and properly documents the occasion). \u00a0So far, Sloane has not followed through with any of them. \u00a0Hmm\u2026 \u00a0Maybe I’ll take a picture of the cat today. \u00a0Probably not though.<\/p>\n
Anyhow, right now it’s 6:32am. \u00a0I thought my body would find a different natural rhythm from when I am at home, but so far, not so much. \u00a0I still wake up pretty early. \u00a0Though Vis is pretty quiet at night, I had mentioned that we are staying in the perfect location, one side beach, other side stores, and 180 degree view. \u00a0This still stands, but it means that lots of people will pass below our window. \u00a0It, also, means that it is the perfect corner for little kids to hide behind to scare their friends. \u00a0And, I think there are boats that pull up in the middle of the night to load or unload things. \u00a0So, last night, through my benedryl and earplugs, I was awoken by some heartily chortling men with heavy bags of something. \u00a0I don’t know what. \u00a0So, beautiful view, nice location, not much sleep. \u00a0Oh well…<\/p>\n
Today we are catching a bus back to the main town, then a ferry back to Split, then a bus to Trogir where we’ll stay near the airport, because tomorrow we fly from Split to Milan, Italy, where we’ll stay for one night before catching our plane from Milan to Athens (Greece, not Texas). \u00a0Then, we stay a night in Athens before catching a Ferry, or plane, to Milos, what looks to be a beautiful island in the Cyclades. For those of you who don’t know, the Cyclades are the group of islands that include Mykonos and Thira (more commonly known as Santorini). \u00a0Milos is said to be ‘off the beaten path’. \u00a0I don’t think it will be empty, but hopefully it will be less busy than the major tourist destinations of Mykonos and Thira. \u00a0Milos is known for beautiful beaches and a lot of nature. \u00a0I’m looking forward to it. \u00a0But, we have a lot of travel before then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
