skopelos via atv

these are photos from our last full day in skopelos, greece.
judah had sessions in the morning and 
then a good chunk off before the closing ceremonies in the evening,
we knew we needed to make the most of that time.
so, we rented a four wheeler!
as you've seen from earlier photos, most people ride a scooter around town.
originally we were thinking of renting one of those,
 but i knew i didn't want to drive my own and 
jude wasn't sure about me riding on the back of his, 
so we chose 4 wheels over two!
though we did not venture off road,
we did make it to a popular beach on the other side of the island.
this is where we had lunch
before trekking down to stafilos beach.
 this is a beach where you pay for a lounge bed, 
or get comfy on the sand and rocks.
we saved our 6 euros!
 upon return to our mode of transportation, 
there was some difficulty getting it started again.
so i took pictures of flowers...
 and after a few minutes we were good to go...
but cautious not to turn off the engine until back at our hotel!

 and there is our hotel room, with our towels hanging to dry.
 the closing ceremonies for the symposium were held at an 
archeological site conveniently located right next door to our hotel!
 we were given a tour of the small museum and the dig site.
 after that we enjoyed a beautiful candlelight dinner 
and a lovely time for speeches, gifts and goodbyes.
