Today we had an Island tour, this time in a comfortable bus with a guide who could tell us more about the culture and history of Zakynthos. We stopped at a few local villages, where we were offered drinks and some of the local snacks. After the first stop we visited the olive factory and the oldest olive tree of the Island, which is around 2000 years old, and which is actually just a really ugly tree. Fun fact too, you have to risk your life to take a picture of the creature because you have to stand on the road, and I can tell you... the locals driving there won't mind a tourist less. We again visited a vineyard and did a tasting. We were told the whole progress from plant to wine. The highlight of the day for me was the little pupper at the vineyard. It was sooo cute and energised! We again visited the shipwreck, this time only to watch other people do very dangerous stuff for a selfie #priorities #sheeple. We ended the tour at the 'Balcony of Zakynthos' where you could see across the whole city, but the view of 'Best Panoramic View of Zakynthos' was surprisingly better indeed. We stopped for the last time in Laganas to have dinner together and to lay on the beach one more time. We said our goodbye's to our favourite restaurants, bars and blue sea to watch the Zoo for a little. Not an actual Zoo, but one which consists of hardly dresses, mainly English, tourists in their natural and entertaining habitat, which literally goes on 24/7. You can also find them in their underwear in a ditch. With filled stomaches we walked back through the ocean towards our hotel, to be exactly 7h later on the airport... on our way back home... But... my travelling will be continued!
