Today was an amazing day! We docked this morning in Santorini. Dad and I grabbed a quick breakfast (for me it has become fruit and a muffin, the only stuff I have found that I like) and we headed towards the tender. Being with Auto-Owners, we were able to be the first to board the boats to head to the coast.
Once we got on the coast, we had to get to the top, two options were available: donkey or cable car.
Both seemed pretty hairy but of the two, we opted for the cable car.
And saw some goats on the way up!
After a few minutes ride, we were in Theiry. We walked a bit, contemplated renting an atv, but ultimately decided on hailing a taxi to Oia (e-uh). The taxi ride there cost 20 euro, our driver offered to wait for us, said it may be difficult to find another driver, he wanted 60 euro total, we told him we would take a chance.
Oia was beautiful!!!
We walked a bit, found a cute little restaurant, and sat and had dessert.
Our dessert was a crepe with nutella and bananas, yum!!!
We walked around a bit more. Then we went to catch a taxi back, there were a ton of taxi drivers waiting. Our taxi ride back cost 15 euro (cheaper). Santorini taxi drivers are like Boston taxi drivers but are driving on a mountain. Mom and Jen, you wouldn’t have liked this stop at all. We got back to Theiry, shopped and walked a bit, and then caught the cable car back down. We could have walked down the stairs the donkey took but it could take 30 minutes and there was no wait at the cable car.
Once back on board, we had lunch in a restaurant on the ship, better than the buffet, laid out for a bit, took a nap, had a drink...
And in the meantime, sailed to Mykonos.
We got to Mykonos at about 7:30pm. Mykonos is known for their nightlife, never really been my scene. Dad and I had dinner on the ship and decided to stay in for the night. The only thing to do in Mykonos would have been to have dinner and that can get expensive. I did finally get some pictures of a good sunset.
Dad wasn’t feeling very well today, no good food combined with lack of sleep and being forever in motion, can do that, plus we have an early morning in Athens tomorrow, so he went to bed early. Since we’re docked until 1am, there’s not a show tonight. That’s okay, I’m good with an early night. Athens is tomorrow. Until then...
The restaurant had an amazing view.
