Hi Everyone!!
We've arrived in Santorini!
We got up really early to take the Metro down to the port. The line was having some work done to it, so we had to get off and take a shuttle around. Luckily there was a nice man that was pointing us on our way and making sure we were headed to where we needed to go. We got our tickets for the ferry and hopped aboard! The ferry was so nice! I imagine it is something like a plane/cruise ship mix. I've never been on a cruise to know for sure though, but it was very nice.
We took the high-speed ferry, and arrived in Santorini a little after noon. Just a side note - the high-speed ferry still took about 5 hours!
We were so excited to get here. Mesa was hilarious! We had a van picking us up at the port to bring us to the hostel, but the curvy road went all the way up the hillside and Mesa just kept jumping from one side of the van to the other to videotape out the windows! The whole time the driver was blaring Johnny B. Goode!
After getting checked into our room, we decided to head out and explore the town of Fira. We walked around everywhere! We had some great views of the caldera and volcano, and all of the little white buildings along the cliffs! It's everything you imagine a Greek island to look like: beautiful, sunny, blue and white, peaceful, and charming.
We ate dinner at a cafe that over-looked the village and the water. We had gyros and they were so delicious.
We decided to take it pretty easy tonight because we'll be doing a bunch tomorrow!
