Day 7 : Dolphins Encounter

We went off to our next destination Skantzoura, stopping off at bay in Psathoura for a swim.

While making our way in the afternoon, we suddenly saw something jumping out of the water near our boat.  On closer look, it was dolphins!!!  There were 3 of them dancing around our boat, and it was just a dream come true to see them so near us!

I quickly ran to grab my camera, and just as I came back with it, the dolphins were already at a distance behind our boat :(

I am sure we will see some along the way again, as I recalled seeing some from a far distance yesterday, and suppose they are familiar sight around the area.

We continued making our way to Skantzoura, while Alberto tried to see if he could fish something for tonight’s dinner.  Alberto seemed to be after a particular kind of fish and had special baits to “lure” it.  Unfortunately we did not have much luck tonight. 

We got to Skantzoura, where there is an open bay which Bianca had been a couple of days ago, and wanted to make another trip back before we make our way to Skiathos (an island near Alonnisos), so that Bianca could catch her flight back to Italy on Tuesday morning. 

We made it just in time to catch the beautiful sunset in the bay, while having our dinner (without fish!).
