We got up early enough to be able to eat breakfast and for me to shower before going on a tour of the south of the South of the island. We walked to the bus stop and got first aboard to make sure to have places together this time! We rode to the point where the walk started and we had a choice to go along or stay back in the bus along with 10 others. We asked the tour guide exactly what we'd see during the walk. The guide explained we'd see olive/pine trees and flowers. Because we had walked so much during the last days, we explained it and decided to stay in the bus.

The program said that for the people who did not want to go for the walk, they would see a water mill. The bus took us in the middle of nowhere by a church, after passing by a little village. There we asked the driver when we'd see the mill, if it was after the people from the walk had come back. He said 'yes'. So we waited there for 1h30 hours.

After a while, we got bored and decided to take a short walk for fresh air (been sitting in the bus for so long)... My friend saw a sign with Greek letters and was curious to what it said. We walked there and to our amazement, we saw a sign across it that said the mill was just 200m away: at walking distance! We ran a bit towards there to catch a little of it before the group would come back, and to our great surprise, we saw the walking group coming towards us! They had already seen the water mill!!! This was not explained by the tour guide (that they would see it) or the bus driver (that it was so close) or the program (there it said the mill was for non-walkers)! After explaining this to the guide, she didn't even apologize. We ran to the water mill to at least take a glance at it and when we came back the tour guide was saying to hurry...

Afterwards, we rode to Agiassos, a little village built on the side of Mount Olympos (2nd highest one on Lesvos). The people there spoke a dialect of Greek, a mix of both ancient and new Greek. We visited the church to Virgin Mary where a baptism was just over; it was nice to see the way they did it. We went to buy souvenirs afterwards. I think the lady in a pottery shop liked me a bit because as soon as I went in she complimented me saying I was 'beautiful' and after picking out a dish, she said I had 'fine taste'. We choose 2 plates (one big and one small), and she gave us a rebate on the biggest one plus a free little one extra! It was nice!

Then we rode to Vatera passing right by Vrissa without stopping while we were supposed to go visit a museum there. We 'had to' go eat at the Vatera Beach Hotel. They served us cold Moussaka and even after having asked them to reheat it, it was still not warm. But at least eatable this time! We paid (very expensive for the quality) and then found out we didn't have to eat there at all! It was only so for the British people in the tour who had already pre-paid their lunch in the tour. We decided to go for a walk on the beach but it was so littered that we only walked for a few meters.

The bus brought us to the hot springs of Polichnitos next. At our arrival on the site, we saw the spring in an open air little pool, it was way hot: the hottest natural springs in all of Europe. It stank a bit like sulfur... Two pools were assigned to women/men, and you had to get in naked. I decided to give it a try! Only a maximum of about 10 people total went in (on a bus of plus 40!), and 5 women. I was a bit shy because I had to totally undress but it went away once I entered the warm water bath. The water was not clear and kind of green colored. It was 38 degrees Celsius (they cool water from the spring in the pool overnight so that we can go in). I stayed in 12 minutes. It left me warm and energized. Certainly my highlight after such a crap day!

The bus took us back in Petra, we went back home. I showered while my friend played with his GBA. We then went to the center to buy souvenirs for my friend's family, my bro and ourselves. We didn't know where to go eat on our last evening in Petra, so we decided to go back to The Traditional (To Paradosiako). We went to sit in a part of the resto where no one else was sitting yet and the owner came to sit with us to have a chat. During our yummy dinner, he came back a few times and we talked about: traditional Greek life, jobs, holidays, internet, TV, the Euro, his kids, his restaurant, his life, the food, etc. My friend really enjoyed it! We got free yummy yogurt, and before we left, he handed us a kit with a bottle of Mini Ouzo, 2 long glasses, 1 pitcher and an ashtray. We thanked him, said bye and he invited us back anytime to Lesvos and his restaurant. When we left the resto, his 2 kids and the grandma waved good bye also. Then we went to sleep.
