No rest for the wicked

We got up to a sunny morning and the ferry was still running yaa so we got some tost. Sadly as we ate and packed the winds picked up and dark clouds rolled in. We left our bags at the hostel since the ferry was not till 730 we took this time to go see the acediant city. Like pompi it is a city that was covered in ash when the volcano erupted. However it was not discovered till the 1900 they are still diging it out. We met a couple that had been there shortly after the opened it to the public and u were able to walk the dirt paths. Now there is a walkway above it all and a small middle section that is cement to walk on.
From there it was a short walk to the red beach... Well the rocks on the cliff side were red... Because it was winter and because of the storm the water was right up to the rocks so there was no beach to see. From there we took the bus back.
Now from the rain that we had it was not ordany rain. It is called red rain and this is due to the fact that it comes from the desert and it is full of sand and dirt red sand and dirt. So everything is dirty the cars look like they were left in a dirt trucking yard they were dirty. Shaunas jacket was dirty our sunglasses. It was odd to fell ur face so dirty.
We just killed time before the ferry came. So we got. On the bus to the ferry. And it is getting dark started to rain and wind picked up. Thank fully there was a terminal to stand in at the port.   so as this ferry trys to pull in you can see it moving in the waves. Well this truck drivers are very good the back on so fast to such a moving target the crew we very good. So the open the door and tell everyone one to run and as we went to get on the door that u walked on toget to the ship was moving so much very hard to walk me and shauna got separated but we had a game plan. So I got on first and find two seats next to a women that was saving two seats so there was four of us around the table. The ride was very rocky. Shauna had sea sickness so I felt bad that I could not help her. She noticed that some people were taking a pill so I went to the help desk and
Asked if they had something for sea sickness. They had a pill wwell shauna got better after that. I taught her nartz the multi player solitaire game.
Slept maybe two hours.
Once back in Athens at 530 am we went home to pack book flight and accommodations for that day. Our land lady was so nice she would not let us clean so that was nice. Got to the airport faught with easy jet again. Apparently if u buy a third bag u do not get extra weight. And she particle said I was stupid for not reading the web sight right. Not happy.   so we were over weight again.
