    Previously on InterRail 2022

    We arrived safe and sound on Naxos. The ferry with its 8 decks was gigantic. Every passenger found a spot to stretch his legs even go horizontal.

    We picked up our rental car drove straight to our hotel, after the check in was done, we headed down to the beach where we discovered some round rocks which we used for our first photo shoot and swimming time.

    At the very same day, Franco and Nadia asked us if we’d like to join them for dinner on a hill, not too far from our hotel. With only one our delay Aminah and I arrived at the restaurant where we right on spot appeared to see an amazing sunset. After a delectable dinner and a bunch of new acquaintances we all went downhill to Chora for a little stroll in the town’s center. After a coffee, ouzo, white wine or what ever the gang ordered for themselves we went back home. Tired, happy and well fed.

    The second day on the island was a combination of sightseeing and birthday party.

    Franco’s birthday dinner

    On the hill the day before, Franco told us that we are all gathering tomorrow at the down town restaurant Typografio. Aminah and I unsuspecting arrived at the restaurant, this time punctual as a Swiss train, where we observed Nadia hanging up some happy birthday letters at the wall.
    Now we knew, it’s Franco’s birthday and we just came empty handed not knowing why we were invited to this lovely restaurant.

    The day was epic. After sightseeing on top of the hills and even hiking to Zeus childhood cave we were super hungry. The restaurant Franco chose for his venue was scrumptious.

    Once more we went to bed, happy and well fed.

    Breakfast buffet; but no orange juice.

    On our 5 day stay in Naxos we not only had a swimming pool in front of our room, we too had breakfast included. Every morning around 8:30 we walked sleepy and moonstruck down to the beach where the breakfast buffet was located in a cozy restaurant. Even though I never eat breakfast, I just asked my plane as if there is no tomorrow. Aminah on the other hand who’s is a frequent breakfast eater, was picky like a 3 year old Leon. The first two days she chose only to nourish on sunny side up eggs. After her stomach developed some windy reactions, she changed her diet towards dry plane cookies.

    Day three was a combination of sightseeing and beach time. After hiking up to a monastery we drove on a rather scary unpaved mountain road to the other side of the island where we found an abandoned piece of turf just for ourselves. We tanned our booties and dipped our toes into the chilly sea.

    Later that day we went back to Chora aka. Naxos towns center to see if we finally would find a lovely white dress for Aminah.
    Without any luck we returned back home, switched on Netflix ans as usual, fell asleep soon after starting the movie.

    Nadie recommended visiting the hotel Ruins in Alyko the Hawaii beach at the same place and last but not least the taverna in Mikri Vigla where the gang was tanning their bellies at Paralia Kastraki beach.

    Friday arrived and our plan was to sleep as much as possible before checking out and walking down the the beach where we had only been on our first day of arrival.
