Food

Sunday we had breakfast on our little terrace patio thing, overlooking the ocean & other islands, from like 100 feet above the water level. 

We took a cab to a 'black beach' (sand, not people).  It wasn't that black, I seen blacker.  Nice enough beach.  The water got deep really fast, big contrast to the beach in Crete. 

We rented an umbrella and chair for ten Euros, but they never collected.  Just 'it costs 10', here's your chair, bye bye.

For lunch we went to some beach front place where Michelle got a piece of a shrimp tail in her food.  She's really allergic so this was pretty scary.  Some throat swelling & itching, but ultimately OK.  Could have been much worse.

We decided to eat dessert first for dinner (shameful...) so we went to this nice cafe with really good desserts, shoveled that in.  Baklava and Orange Pie (kind of sponge cake in sugary syrup).  Then we went for real dinner to a restaurant called '1800'.  We were told when we got the reservation the day before that we could be seated on the rooftop garden where there are nice views of the suset at some tables, but we wouldn't be getting one of those tables.  Fine, we can stand up & take pictures.

Turns out we're at a table right on the edge of the rooftop garden, best possible place to see the sunset.  So good times.

The food was kind of snooty.  Everything has a long description, like onion soup with a chili oil reduction with sauteed shallots and a creme fraiche bon bon.  As a free 'gift' from the chef they brought out pureed watermelon topped with feta mousse, served in a shot glass with a straw.  Yuk.  I got chicken (good) with onions (good) and some barley/pistachio nut/orange zest side (what were they thinking).
