I can't really say I've been to Spétsai because today I decided to have a sea day. We were anchored off the island until mid-afternoon and based on what I'd read, I thought this would be a good chance to give my feet a rest. The island is in the Saronic Island group which means that in the last three days we've been in three different groups, Dodecanese, Cyclades, and today's group. The island is small and, except for the town off our starboard side, it's largely unpopulated. Cars are not allowed in the town so the mode of transportation is by foot or horse-drawn carriage. I talked to several of my trivia teammates and those who did go ashore said there wasn't much there except shops.
Today all of us who are continuing on had to be tested for Covid. I passed as did everyone else apparently. Hooray! I was told that about the same number of people will be boarding tomorrow in Athens as are disembarking so we'll still be at around 250 passengers. That's great for us travelers but not so good for the company's bottom line I guess. I heard that the cruise after mine will be a full ship. Perhaps the world will start to be more normal again.
I played trivia and we didn't win. Three wins out of five isn't bad. All but two team members will still be here to continue to play together. In summary, it has been a lazy day. Sorry to be so boring but tomorrow will be busy. I'm heading down to the Corinth Canal and the ancient city of Epidaurus.
Here are a couple of photos from my veranda.
Ta-ta for now.

Ann, I just caught up, too, and SO enjoyed reading your posts from Greece! I think your weather sounds lovely—- April sounds like the perfect time to visit this part of the world. We were in this area in early summer and it was definitely hot! So interesting to connect with some ladies from home! How exciting to begin the second half of your trip and all are Covid-free! We had our fourth shot yesterday so today we are just taking it easy. Continue to have fun!!!
Ann, thanks for all the great posts. You have brought back many great memories. Roads is one of my favorite places, I love Greese, overall, now some of that might have to do with dear Greek friends, who live in Athens.
Continue having fun.
Hugs Cindy
