AGHIOS NICKOLAI

I think I got the village spelling right. St Nicholas to you. Another pretty greek island village nestled against the backdrop of the mountains. Went on ships tour up into the mountains to visit a monastery to pray for our missing wallet & phone. Only one monk lived there accompanied by millions of cicadas - the noise was defeaning. Looked down on the leprosy isle of Spinalonga, which now has some swanky resort hotels nearby. Ended up in an olive oil farm where the processing kit is not what you might imagine - all stainless steel and computer control. Returned to the ship for white night party on deck. Everyone dresses in white and dinner is served on deck. Food was great - sushi, barbeque meat & fish, all the trimmings. Too much drink & dancing, now the knees hurt.
