…… the Hostel is pretty good here … not that I have had any experience of other hostels but my expectations have certainly been heightened! The sleepless bit was due to a couple of phone alarms going off early but apart from that I don’t care that I share a bathroom or a dorm with about 12 others … everyone seemed very respectful of each other … well so far. The photo is of a little isolated beach about a 45 minute walk from Oìa with a quaint shack cafe. Pretty shaley beach and dark volcanic sand mixing between tiny wood Chipping’s. Water warm and friendly! Other photo is a quick snap that I took at the hostel. Going to Firi later so more updates.
