Patmos - Greece

We'll after a little rough water last nights woke to a nice day. Again we had a tender to shore . After having breakfast and managing, by default to sit next to our neighbours Ross andLucy from Uk we took a tour of the bridge. What an amazing experience, have done it before but this ship is high tech with everything whiz bang down to data entry on everything going on by the press of a button.

Then went ashore . Patmos is not a big island. This is where you good Catholics will know that St John had his vision and wrote the apocalypse. The monastery towers over the capital, Chora and the whole island breathes faith!!!! There I knew you all knew that too. Anyway we shared a taxi with John and Mary, what more could you get ? and stopped at the Grotto of St John. This small cave now a chapel is where the saint lived. Down 40 steps and now a beautiful chapel. No photos allowed.

Then onto and upward to the Monastery of St. John , which we circled but never found the front entrance, so continued down thru the neighbourhood, completely lost until we found Jimmy's Balcony, what a relief,  beer and wine for a job well done and down the windy road and back to the port where we hooyed the tender that had left and they came back and got us, only Marsdens could do that.
A very pleasant day and now we have a Captains welcome reception to go to, so better put on my glad rags and try and look beautiful . Easy. Met him today on the bridge so am sure he will remember us.
Santorini tomorrow so hoping for a sunny day. Goody morning to you all.
