So as I said in my previous post, we ended up in Patmos and not in Santorini which was where the boat was supposed to go. We decided to get off and have a wander around anyway, so we got the tender boat at about eleven o'clock to Patmos Town. Apparently the island is where St John the Evangelist was exiled so there are a lot of things to do with that, and a lot of churches, and a lot of religious tat. We just wandered around the town, though, which was really pretty. We made friends with some cats and we bought some souvenirs. It was really hot.
The four of us sat down in a cafe at about half past twelve and had cold drinks and pudding as we had had a big breakfast and didn't really need or want lunch. I had profiteroles filled with ice cream, which were delicious. We wandered a bit more and then got the tender back to the boat. We got back about 2pm. I had been wearing my Sprinkle of Glitter polka dot dress which as I've said before I absolutely love, but I think it might have seen its last summer. It's going a bit funny and has a hole in the neck which isn't really seen but is there. I've asked my mum to draft a pattern from it because I love the shape so much and really don't want to let it go!
We went and sunbathed and swam for the rest of the day. It was the last swim so we made the best of it! It was lovely. Again we showered and changed and then went up on the Deck 10 to watch the boat sail out of Patmos. Someone took a lovely photo of the four of us but we are squinting in the sunshine! I took some photos of the pool deck from Deck 10 too which give a better view of the place.
About 7pm we went down to the Glass House for tea. We had had drinks in there previously and had seen the food, so thought we would chance it for our last night. We shared some tapas and then had pizzas; I had vegetarian calzone which was really nice. We could see the sunset from the Glass House which was a real treat, just lovely.
After we'd eaten we had another wander around the ship. The pool deck was really lovely by night, and the bar was open a bit later I think, so we had another drink out there. We also went through the Atrium again because there was stuff going on, but it was really loud and we didn't stay there. But it had been a really pleasant day, if a little different from what we had thought as we had been booked on a trip in Santorini!
In the evening I was wearing a Yours dress and old crop top jumper from New Look which is one of my favourite summer outfits.
