I've been overseas for about a month now and I have no regrets about it. I love the feeling of waking up every day and wondering what they day will hold. Traveling is amazing. You lean so much about over cultures and so much about yourself.
Today we got up and had breakfast ready for our ferry ride to Santorini. Santorini is definitely the place I have been looking forward to seeing the most out of the 3 islands. After breakfast Shannon and I dropped our bikes back and met everyone down at the port for our ferry ride to Santorini. This boat ride will take us 3 hours to get there. It was an uneventful boat ride and 3 hours later we arrive at Santorini.
The island was definitely not what I expected. No one told me that Santorini was located pretty much smack bang ontop of a mountain. We got our luggage and found our transfer mini buses and up the step mountain we went. The road was very thin and there was big drop off beside the road. One false move by the driver and it was all over.
It took us roughly half an hour to drive up the mountain until we arrived at our hotel. Our hotel was located about a 20 minutes walk out of town. But at least the walk was on flat ground. We arrived received our room keys and took our bags up to our room.
We only had an hour or two before we had to be ready to leave to go and see the sunset at Oia Cliffs. A few of us walked to the supermarket and got a late lunch before the cliffs.
At 7pm we left in a coach to see the sunset. We drive down windy roads towards the cliffs. Once we got there our top deck guide said that these cliffs get over 15,000 people visit the sunset a night. We had about 30mins before sunset. A few of us girls tried to find a good spot to watch it.
It doesnt look packed in this pictures but there were so many people here we could hardly move. Lisa and I ran around from place to place. Accidentally through peoples back yards until we found a place that we could watch it.
People were standing on the top of rooftops, and sitting on fences to see the sunset. And when the sun finally vanished everyone clapped. I wish we knew earlier how packed it was because I would of loved to have got there earlier to get a good spot to see it.
We quickly, well as quickly as we could walk back to the bus through the dense crowd of people.
We got to the bus and drove back into town where we had a late dinner at a hidden restaurant. The place we had dinner was up to flight of stairs and didn't even have a sign out the front of it. You wouldn't of known it was there.
After our late dinner we headed straight out to a club. The club was pretty big and had a few people there. We had a free cocktail and a bit of a dance.
A few girls and I were a bit over dancing so we decided to get some froyo. We went to this store called chilliebox where you could choose your ice cream flavours and your toppings. It was amazing. You could have melted dark, white or milk chocolate, lollies, or fresh fruit on top of your yogurt. Yum.
