Last Full Day in Santorini....


We began today by grabbing some baked goods at the local 24 hour bakery and headed to "red beach". The sands were red from the cliffs, but we found the beach to be rocky and full of umbrellas that charged 7 Euros a seat....from there we headed back to Fira to see the Old port and cable cars down to the port. After a quick bite we trekked back to the car to hurry home to return it....our busy day yesterday made us a little slow today, so we did some laundry (yay!) and headed to the beach for awhile. Katie and I got a little lost on the way back, but after climbing a wall and almost getting attacked by 2 dogs we got home and went to the pool to cool off...we are headed to "God's Garden" for dinner...haha recommended by John of our hostel...we will see if the food is heavenly or not...;)

Tomorrow we get a 15 hour boat ride back to Athens....not looking forward to that. Then we can spend the day seeing the ancient ruins in Athens before heading to Hostel Aphrodite to catch the bus to the Pink Palace in Corfu. We might not be able to post until Wednesday or Thursday...depends on where we can find a computer.

Until then!

Let us know how the food was at God's Garden. I am picturing a glass of holly water and a small plate of those flat little crackers you eat at church.

Well sounds like you all are having a great time. Enjoy every minute of it !! Only downside I can see is you are now bitten by the official travel bug. An almost impossible bug to get rid of...only cure is more travel. I'm sure that by the time you get home you'll have a new list of places to see and experience. Enjoy enjoy enjoy !! The world is a big fun place and you are in a really cool part of it...
all the best
