Off the mainland

Cas and I left the first fortress and headed immediately for the second one.  That fortress is in the middle of the water, so a boat trip was in order.  

The second one was not as well maintained, but it was interesting nonetheless.  Cas has some really great photos from both of the fortresses in the album he's keeping.  

After we left there, we walked around and found a place to eat lunch.  The food has been good in every moment of this trip so far, and we have been promised that the islands will be just as good, though the seafood will be even better.  

We wandered through the street market as all the vendors were closing up for the day.  Apparently, there is a farmer's market or a street market in Nafplio every Wednesday and Saturday.  

When we finished the walk, we had a beverage in a nice, shady street cafe, then we went to a grocery store to get some apples and a few granola bars.  

We have just spent two hours on a bus, and we have boarded our very fancy ferry boat in Athens. Time for dinner and a little wine as we leave the mainland and head for Crete.
