Art!
Somewhere in Fira..Santorini is nice!...the Island is spread out ....touristy..but nice vibe!
Got to the Youth hostel.....met some Australian girls and hung out a bit with them...nice ne!!
Went to Perissa Beach...the black sand beach! and the water was GREAT!! The first time I actually wanted to stay in the water at the beach!!!! ahhhhhhhh! The sand was kinda rocky but comfi to lie on!!=)
Today..took a full day tour around the Islands in Santorini...Got on this "old-fashioned" boat...At the hostel, the Australian girls checked out and so, I teamed up with a Kiwi and American guy to the tour!..the tour was not fun but it was nice! Went up to the volcano Island.....err...disappointing actually....just lots of really nice rock formation...that was COOOL! but the caldera wasn;t exciting at all......Mt Aso in Kyushu was way cooooler!^^"
Anyways, then went to the hot springs next to the volcano....
the boat stopped in the middle of the sea and we all just jumped into the water and swam 40m to the hot spring!!! You can feeel the water temperature changing and the colour as well! It was very yellowish..reddish......yuck....but interesting experience.
The worst part was waiting to get back on the boat.....I
Swordfish Souvlaki
This was Delicious! though, its basically skewered BBQ... really need to train myself on swimming again!!! ahh..it was wavy and the sea water was very salty..and it kept splashing on my face! Almost sank there....-_____-" haaaaa!!!
Anyways...next was Thiresssa Island or sth like that...
Just a port. had lunch and walked into the water a bit..(didn't wanna get wet again....the guys swam though..).
Next was Oia..The famous postcard sunset place.
The port was WAY downhill and there were these MILES of steps to walk up to town. Ended up going for a donkey ride! haaaaaa...
The donkey had this "race" up and I was on the lead....whooooooow....it was...fun....except when the other donkey tried to take over....its tail kept hitting my leg.....>__<"
Anyways, walked around town a bit and then went to the fortress, sat at a great spot and just waited for the sunset..
it took 2 hours!!! but it was nice seeing the change .....the breeze was nice and felt great=)
Had a big discussion on whether its a comeback honeymoon place....
Arrr..I dun think I will come back for it...but not a bad choice for newbies.=P
The day ended....DEAD TIRED.....
Need to wake up EARLY tmr to try to catch the girls who
Slow Grilled Lamb
This is the KING of the meals here!! OMG....the lamb was SOSOSOSOSOSO gooooood! and the meal was only a little under 7 Euros and it was massive!!!!!! Loved it!!!=) booked a taxi to the port...hopefully they won't mind me sharing a taxi with them....^^"
have 15 hours on a freakin slow ferry to Pireaus.......
but good thing! The Australian girls gave me a new book to read! "Scar Tissue"...OHHH..I just started...its such a GOOOOOD BOOOOK!=)
