What I did

Lesbos is the third-largest Greek island, it has high mountains and amazing sea. I walked a lot and swam even more. I visited the petrified forest and the capital, Mytilene.

What I liked

My favourite evening was Friday night at Platano Square, where they had traditional Greek music and children climbed the huge 200-year-old tree.

What I didn't like

The worst bit was having to say goodbye to three kittens that I looked after.

What I ate and drank

I ate lots of small fish that I caught each day and my grandmother cooked for me. I also gave the mummy cat some fish because she was feeding three kittens.
