Monemvasia day + Gytheio night

Definitely this day is dubbed the "Top crazy day of the whole trip"

So we all wake-up and get ready for class at 9:30am. So I'm sitting at the continental breakfast and Aubrey gets a phone call from Julie saying that someone broke into her room last night and stole her camera and wallet with basically all her information in it. We were all freakin out! Julie was freakin out and crying. I mean I would be feeling the same way if my money, credit cards, social security card, and camera were all stolen. So we're all waiting around outside of the hotel for about an hour because Aubrey, Alice and Julie were waiting at the police station for the police to show. The police may not have been there since it was Sunday and the Greek Orthodox basically spend the morning worshiping so they could have been at church. So after a while, Alice comes back and we start class in the lower and upper town of Monemvasia. The lower town was filled with shops, churches, restaurants and ice cream! It was so pretty! The upper town involved a climb and we saw the remains of St. Sophia church. Or we basically saw the outside of it because when we got up there, the chains were locked on the door. The view was once again amazing!! You just can't capture it all in a picture. We stayed up there a while and then we headed back down and got some lunch in the lower town. On the way down we were sliding all over the place on the marble. Alex fell and split her toe. It wasn't that bad. We went to the bathroom at the restaurant and fixed her up. The food was pretty good. I got a STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE and it was dang good. I also split spaghetti with Sarah. Then we all hopped on the bus and made our way to the town of Gytheio. The views from the bus were simply amazing again!!! And the bus ride wasn't that bad. We get to the hotel and Alice tells us that we have the rest of the evening off. We were all like "cool, what are we going to do?" We thought about the beach but it was too far. We asked about horseback riding but they didn't have it. So we all went down and sat at the cafes for like 3 hours just like typical Greeks. We talked about all the crap that happened to us lately. Our group is crazy! Then this bug flew into Lauren's shirt and she freaked out and jumped out of her chair which flew into the canal/water that was behind us! After she got the bug out of her shirt, she realized that her stuff was attached to the chair so she jumped down into the water and pulled her stuff out of the water. Her camera, ipod, cell phone, notebook, and walet were all inside the bag and pretty much all got ruined. We were all trying to dry the stuff as fast as possible. We were all thinking, "honestly what else can possibly happen to our group?" Then we immediately knocked on wood. After that cafe we basially walked across the street and had dessert. Sarah and I split this waffle with toffee ice cream on it - it was sooo good! After that we went back to our rooms and we all chilled on our balconys. It would be really funny because you'd walk out and notice the beautiful view and then you'd turn left or right and see someone right there and be like "wo!" After chillin on the balcony for a while, Alex, Julie, Sarah and I went out exploring around the little town we could basically see from our balconys. I bought a purse/bag! I'm excited because it's orange and it reminded me of VT! We then took pics in random places. And we took pics of our feet. That was fun. Then we got some food and went back to our rooms and went to bed.
