Ferry hoppin

The plan is next to try to get to Turkey. It seems the best way is to take ferries. Iraklia to Naxos to Santorini to Kos to Bodrum, Turkey. No sleep till Kos!

Fira, Santorini

























I'm glad we didn't stay a night in Santorini. It's an island chain where there was a huge volcanic eruption about 4000 years ago that destroyed civilization all around and probably caused a tsunami that wiped out the civilization as far as Crete.
We had a layover there. The outgoing ferry left at midnight, so we had to kill some time. There is a great view of the volcanic islands from the main town of Fira, though I don't see why the place is touted so much. It's way too expensive there. I would have liked to descend the cliff from Fira down to the water, and take the cable car back up or something, but we were lugging our huge backpacks around the whole time in Santorini, so that would have been a little too much for the back. We found a bench where we could hang out and mooch unsecured wireless off someone, and we booked rooms and blogged.

Yogurt and honey. This kind of yogurt in Greece, with honey and walnuts makes a great breakfast or dessert. The yogurt is so rich it tastes like cheese.
