My Big Fat Greek Cruise: Santorini (my fav)

---

Ohhh, Santorini!.....my favorite of the Greek Isles we visited. I could definitely hunker down here for a long while. Santorini, again, has most of the villages perched high up on the top of the cliff. It has seaside vineyards, a volcano,ancient ruins, great little restaurants. We only had enough time to do a fast run-through, so I definitely would love to return and explore it properly. We took a very modern, fast cable car to the top...and a very slow, smelly donkey back down to the port at the end of our visit (a decision I regretted the second I climbed on). Probably the longest 30 minutes of my life. The donkey trail zig-zagged straight down the cliff in a series of very steep stairs. The donkeys didn't appear to be paying an enourmous amount of attention to their task and I was certain that I was going to fall right off and land on my noggin in the Aegean. Truly, it wasn't that horrible, just a whole lot less romantic than it initially appeared...

Abby looks like she is plucking that olive right out of her nose. She picked that Olive off the tree and is so proud of herself.
