Andros

We arrived on Andros yesterday by ferry then took a bus over to Batsi (a cute coastal town). We pretty much got forced into a room immediately after exiting the bus. Some guy was waiting there desperate for tourists to rent his room, because this time of the year is so slow. We checked it out, bargained and got the room for 20 euros, which I believed was a good deal considering it was really cute and had a relatively good view from the balcony (Dawsons standards are set much higher). The off season gives us the upper hand because people NEED our business, so we looked around today and got an even nicer room for tonight with an amazing view. (post pictures of that later). ANYWAYS, this place is the prettiest site ive ever seen. Everywhere you look its just surreal... The pictures are right on the postcards with the boxy white houses and the white chapels. Andros has a huge white church with a tower of bells, and they get really excited at random hours of the day and ring the bells forever and SO loud! We dont really understand it, becuase it sounds like they want all the islands to hear.. its weird. So ya heres a few pictures...
