The day did not start well. Katie woke up with a hand the size of a boxing glove. Oh dear. Needed to seek medical attention which manifested itself as a giant needle up her bum. Only $140 (not included in insurance). The doctors receptionist, who turned out to be the owner of all doctors on Kos, felt sorry for us and knocked off €70.
Hired bikes and cycled along the beach half way to Kos Town on dirt tracks. Really refreshing and exciting breezing along the beaches, jumping in the sea whenever we got too hot. Played bat and ball on a remote beach. Got lost in some fields containing horses and cows and chickens and goats.
On the way back we came across an amazing outside bar with stunning views, a pool and white sofas under a gazeebo. Supped some of the lovely local beer – Mythos, and ate chips and Greek salad before a huge hornet wanted in on the action. We cowered in the corner, frightened of it.
As we approached Tigaki (our resort) the sun set beautifully over the sea and we felt all gooey inside.
Later that night we went to another great restaurant and sat on a huge roof terrace overlooking Tigaki. Ordered a salad which could have fed a large fat family. In fact we only went in for starters but each plate was huge and came with multiple other dishes. We got a doggy bag.
