Mareya Justice

Today we took a cruise to visit the islands of Hydra, Poros and Aegina. The cruise was amazing and the weather was beautiful. Each of the islands were beautiful in their own way. My favorite of the three was Hydra. Hydra was our first stop on the cruise. At this island we got the opportunity to ride on a donkey. While traveling through the streets the tour guide had informed me that my donkey was a rescue donkey. Her name was Melina and she was found starved and beaten. The tour guide had rescued her and had given her a second chance at life. She is now very strong and healthy, just like the others. She was a little timid and did not like to be petted but was very well behaved during the tour. The donkeys had carried us to the top of the hill where we got to embrace the view around us. The second stop was Poros. At Poros we climbed the hill to the clock tower. The view was breathtaking. After shopping at the stores we then traveled to our next destination, Aegina. At this island there was sand surrounding the water, which had very interesting shells. I captured some of the sand and shells in a bottle. I will now always have a little piece of Greece with me! We are now on the cruise headed back to meet the bus. While traveling back to the bus we are enjoying Greek music and dancing!
