We were very
comfortable at anchor, although the disco ashore went on until 5 a.m.but decided
it would be better to be against the town quay as we needed to take on diesel
and water, and do some shopping in order to feed our visitors. So when the
town quay emptied this morning, we moved over. It will also be easier for
Kerrie and Lee to bring bags on board too.
We explored some of
Skiathos town which is the Greek equivalent of Marmaris, though without the
chavs it seems. We found a mobile phone shop and bought a Greek SIM card
which works in our Turkish Nokia, and the guy in the shop was very helpful in
finding out if WIND do a similar internet package to Turkcell.
Unfortuantely they do not, but they do something similar, although much more
expensive (in line with everything else it seems). So we will have
internet access occasionally, and will do emails from our Virgin UK phones as
before.
We found the big
supermarket which is obviously a Greek branch of Carrefour, and prices there are
not quite as outrageous as everywhere else.
Stewart and Pam came
over for drinks this evening and answered lots of questions and gave some good
pointers on places to go.
