Kos, day four (Greece, the twenty-fifth day)

[hawkwing_lb]

Still tired. Or rather, tired again, as yesterday I slept in, went to the ancient agora of Kos Town, where the monumental remains are in general post-classical and include a temple of Herakles and a sanctuary to Aphrodite as both Aphrodite Pontia and Aphrodite Pandemos and adjoins the ruins of the late harbour, ate all the things, swam, napped, and stayed up late reading fanfic in the airconditioning.

(Yes, I read fanfic. Pretty much only for Dragon Age: Origins, though...)

Today, slept in until noon, like a dead thing. Then the parent dragged me out, and we rented bikes, and cycled out of town to the northwest, along the coast, past hotels and out into a countryside filled with cows and more cows and chickens and growing things and still more cows. We stopped after an hour at a beach, and stayed for a while, and then cycled back, arriving in Kos Town to eat All The Things.

Sadly, we neglected to bring extra sunscreen, and now are rather pinker than is perhaps good, but I've had far worse pinkenings. I will itch and peel a little, but it will not be a flakey torment.

Tomorrow, the plan is to visit Turkey. There is a castle with a museum which I hope to visit. Wish me luck in getting up in time to catch the boat?

(sssh, don't tell anyone, but I read DA:O fanfic too...)

Good luck tomorrow, and I am envious of you eating all the things. (mmmm. the food in Greece....)

(It'll be between us and the four walls...)

(Though honestly, that game? So bloody absorbing. I mean, nearly two years on, and I'm still playing it occasionally. To say nothing of reading the fanfic.)

And thanks!
