Day 13: Santorini

Tuesday, September 25

Daniel was feeling better after some good rest and improved weather. He wanted a full-English breakfast to solidify his recovery. We'd seen places that had it, including the Crepe Academy where I'd eaten last night, but we had a bit of a problem finding things as not everything was open yet.

After breakfast, we went down to the beach, laid on the sand, read, and went bobbing in the water; the waves were pretty strong. It was fun.

We had lunch at a place recommended by the guide. Daniel had wanted grilled lamb, but the waiter recommended another lamb dish, which was quite good. I had grilled swordfish which wasn't that good.

Later in the afternoon, we went to Fira, the main tourist city on the caldera. The bus was packed. I didn't think we'd be able to get on, but we did. We wandered around, taking in the views. Found a gelato place, which was more expensive than the one in Innsbruck but, just like Innsbruck, everyone was eating it.

We walked north along the caldera, taking lots of photos. Daniel walked even farther than I did. We got back to Fira just before sunset and got seats at a bar to watch. It was a bit hazy in the distance, but still lovely. We had sangria.

Back in Kamari, we picked up the laptop and headed down to the wireless Intranet place for dinner, drinks, and Internet time.
