Ride from Hell and the First Day on Poros.

We woke up late. We pretty much had to sprint out of our place and go run to the hostel to check out, then hail cabs and we barely made it on time to catch the hydrofoil to Poros, which was about an hour away by these speedboats. We got on the boat and it seemed pretty cool, I bought a meat thing that was pretty good, which I would regreat later. The boat started to go, and everytime it hit a wave, it was like we hit a jump. We got the willies everytime and me and Heather and Jess were enjoying it, but we looked over and Bennett sprinted back to the bathroom area. Since it was Oz's 21st the night before he was not in great shape and this ride was probably the worst thing that he could have done besides taking the tilt-a-whirl to Poros. He also went towards the back. Cassie said she didn't feel well at all, so I decided that we were going to play Survivor to see who would not throw up. It was honestly like torture, getting the willies every five minutes for like 30 seconds in a row. We could not do anything about it. People all over the boat were throwing up and I thought the old man next to us was going to die. Jessman folded first and went to the back, so it was only me and Heather left. Heather said she didn't feel well so I decided that I won and went to the back to check on the guys. Jess and Bennett were just standing and Oz was sitting on the steps. We hung out back there the whole time, with lots of people coming back to throw up, it was so bizarre. We were so relieved to get off the damn boat. It was raining when we got to Poros, so we ate a little cafe. It was actually Oz's birthday so Cassie got him a really good chocolate souffle. The rain let up so we decided to walk around. THis island is exactly what you think about when you think of Greek islands. Absolutely gorgeous. It was raining but that did not hamper our spirits or our view. We went and got ingredients to cook with and on the way back got gelato. We got back to the room and cooked our meal of rice, greens, sausage, pineapple curry and garlic. One of the better meals I've had. The people across from us make their own wine, so we bought some from them and it was good, very earthy but good. We just relaxed for that night and hung around our room, talking about funny stories from high school and drinking wine. Great day.
