Greek Salad

So we have been in Greece about 5 days now, spending our last day in Santorini, and then the long ferry ride back to Athens this evening. Our flight from Turkey to Athens was very scary, the weather was bad and the turbo prop plane was literally dropping out of the sky... it was a very long hour and a half. We spent a day seeing the sights of Athens, one word "HOT". The Accropolis, Parthanon, and much more. All good stuff. Arrival in Santorini was a whole different story, just beautiful. Our orginal house has a patio with a view you cant beat, in fact all day long we had tourists trying to take photos just above our house. We spent the days swiming in the ocean and reading our books, eating good food and relaxing. In fact we extended our stay another day just because this place is so perfect. The only downside is incredible stairs to walk up (good for you though), and anytime before 3pm there is an unbearible heat, however if you spend that time in the water, then no worries. The afternoon is blessed with a nice sea breeze which continues into the night.

Thats all for now, will check in again when we get to Rome. Will try to upload some pics with the time I have left.

Glad you are still alive and not locked up in a Turkish prison or something - glad to see the photos also - you two look, well and like your are having fun and using a lot of shoe leather. No comments of Turkey?
