Day 7: Æro, Monday, June 20


We had a leisurely, enchanting day exploring Æro on foot in the morning, taking in the characteristic painted doorways and porcelain dogs the locals display in their windows. We wandered along the shore where we made the video above of Cara auditioning to be a Rick Steve's tour guide (fingers crossed!).

On board the bus in the afternoon, we explored the length and breadth of the windswept island, taking in an array of thatched cottages, farms, and bluffs, and assembling for a traditional smørrebrød lunch. 





Tonight we decided to take advantage of a nearby grocery and the kitchenette in our suite to actually prepare our own meal for a change, some burgers and a massive mixed salad, for a family meal.
