...continued....
7:30 AM - One touch-down and visit to Hertz rent-a-car later, we were loaded up in a small Ford
navigating our way up to Argostoli to the hotel where we'd be staying on Kefalonia
8:00 AM - Confirmed room upgrade to suite with three beds at Mirabel Hotel and Susan and I ate breakfast #2 for the day since the first one was before 4AM. Plus, eggs and cheese and tasty pastries
were much better than tea and toast.
Views from our downtown Argostoli balcony at Mirabel Hotel
8:30 AM - Head to Hotel Mediterranea where we would meet up with the wedding party and guests from America to tour Kefalonia with Farrah and Nick who are to be wed on Saturday. A gorgeous view of the blue green ocean and a cute kitty cat entertains us out back as we wait for everyone to arrive.
9:15 AM - Alas, we're on greek time so leaving on schedule is never expected. We're all loaded up an
ready for the tour.
Since our internet has been so limited here I'll have to fill in the complete details of these gorgeous places later but here are some photos to enjoy in the meantime...
First stop - a quaint village in the mountains - ruins of St.George's Castle. 
Next we headed to the resting place of Saint Gerassimos then to a local winery for a tour and tasting.
Cooling off in the Drogarati Caves near Sami where the cast of Captain Corelli's Mandalin stayed while filming. 
The next stop was one of my favorites... the Melissani Lake and Caves. Beautiful!!! 
By then we had worked up an appetite so we drove to the far north of the island through the windy mountains to Fiskardo, an adorable fishing village, for lunch at the marina. 
On the way back to the south part of the island at the end of the tour, we stopped at the overlook of gorgeous Myrtos Beach to snap a quick photo of some of the wedding party.
