Greek Odyssey Day 5b: Aegina

After Poros, we had lunch on the ferry as it headed back north towards Aegina. Hubby went round taking pictures while I tried to sleep off my motion sickness.

By the time we reached Aegina, it was raining heavily.

We took a 'scenic' bus tour of the island, but the rain didn't allow us to see much. This is a 15th century monastery on Aegina.

After the rain stopped, just before getting back onto the ferry, the rainbow came out! I also sampled the island's famous pistachio ice cream, made from locally grown pistachios.

A much prettier view of the town as we were leaving compared to our arrival.

Saying goodbye to the island, as we head back to Piraeus.

A beautiful sunset to end the day.
