Greece - Kos & Patmos

From Santorini, we were suppose to take a ferry to the island of Samos, the birth place of mathematician Pythagoras, the 'A2 + B2 = C2 in a right triangle' guy. But there were high winds for three days. Ferries got cancelled and people were getting hysterical as they were missing their flights back home. Long story short, we ended up in the island of Kos, the birth place of Hippocrates, the father of medicine.

This is me on the ferry to Kos. You'd be lying down at the ferry restaurant too (the only place with a couch) if you had a total of twelve hour ferry ride: The Tree of Hippocrates in Kos, under which he taught his pupils according to legends. You can buy a copy of the Hippocratic Oath in nine different languages at the gift shop next door:
Bill took a day trip to the island of Patmos, where St. John had his vision and wrote the Book of Revelation. I didn't go - I couldn't stomach any more ferry rides. This is the monastery on the hill where St. John wrote the apocalypse:

Random Witnessing of a Good Fight in Hania, Crete (in Bill words, copied and pasted here): "we were in an internet cafe back in Hania, when all of a sudden this commotion started behind us. We proceeded to watch the owner (an older guy in his forties) put some college kid in a headlock and wrestle him to the ground. Whole thing lasted like 5 minutes, and finally the cops came. Man, that was the most excitement we've had in a while."

We don't have a picture of the fight, but here is a picture of the pretty Hania harbour:

Dinner - fish:

Sorry, we were too hungry to take a picture before eating. The scraps were fed to the street cats such as these:

We take a ferry over to Bodrum, Turkey tomorrow.
