Off the boat st Nea Styra I started to cycle hard up the excessively steep hill. And push on towards Kymi and the 5pm boat.
There is a spring water stop half way down one of the hills where I stopped to replenish water supplies. I took the opportunity to check the ferry timings to Skyros. It was now I found out that my ferry was not at 5pm as thought but at 8.45pm. I felt deflated, I now had 6 or 7 hours to wait when I reached Kymi but also missed an opportunity to meet up with Athanasios while I was in Nea Styra.
But the die has been cast and I ploughed on down the road. Now stopping often to replenish supplies, drink coffee.
The boat left Kymi late and we eventually arrived in Skyros at 11.30. I was home by 12. Showered and bed by 12.30
Today I’m tired and deflated.
A Couple of Days Ride Outta....... 
Oh wow! The absolutely beautiful island of Skyros. Some wonderful holidays remembered in years past
