last days in Greece

So its the second last night in Greece and super depression is starting to set in... I have reached my tanning saturation point and dont seem to be gettting any darker, I just look a big fat orange.
Went to super romantic spot and watched the sun set with Rick,  sitting on the waters edge on a big rock. It was spectacular. The smartest thing we did all holiday was invest in a cheap polysterene cooler box which we lugged all around the island with us carrying our chilled tipple and sarmies. Excellent decision. We have been enjoying drinks at our local too (a little beach bar shack place which is awesome) and last night we proceeded to make friends with bar man who gave us a few free shots, one of which was some wicked home made concoction that could be used as paint stripper. I think I burped a blue flame after downing it. Anyhoo... 1 bottle of vodka a few beers, 3 shots and 3 more drinks later found myself lying on the deck chairs on the beach alone after Rick had crawled home in drunken stupor. Glistening stars set against a black velvet blackdrop, a sliver of  beautiful orange moon being eating by the endless ocean. I had a religious epiphany of how there must definitely be a God or something super to have created something so spectacular. I also realised that I probably shouldnt be lying so close to the sea whilst being so drunk.. crying at the moon because she's so beautiful is definitely a clear sign of intoxication!
Highlights of Greece have been the amazing waters, sunsets, exploring the island and mountains on a scooter, the lamb OH THE LAMB, delicious home made looking mini ice creams they sell in the shops for 50c, the joghurt and tzatziki, the LAMB, getting tipsy on the beach, being super shit at playing frizbee but playing none the less, going to the naturist beach and sitting with Rick laughing at the old mens dingles dongles (Note: Naturist beaches are most commonly populated with old, unattractive people, sorry chaps), and jumping off high ledges into fabulous naturally made sea swimming pool although wasnt so fun stepping on sea urchin and having to remove 7 of its spikes out of my foot.
Last day tomorrow, and we are going to finish it off with a dinner of Lamb.. 7 hour Lamb, Lamb with beans and greek cheese and Lamb Kleftiko... YUM.
Thassos, its been a treat old girl, thanks for looking after us and making us fat happy little sun kissed piglets farting and frolicking into the sunset.
Ps. do not come to Thassos for a diving holiday, there are no fish to see, only urchins.
