Santorini

From Venice we took a train down to Ancona. I didn't get any pictures there because we only stayed overnight and it wasn't a particularly picturesque port city.
From there we caught a ferry to Patras in Greece. It was a long overnight trip and sleep was hard to get as we were in the nightclub/disco. We took a bus from Patras to Piraeus, the port of Athens. There we got on another ferry bound for Santorini.
On that boat we watched soaps in greek. It is amazing how easy it is to figure out what's going on (sarcasm, incase you didn't guess).
We arrived at 12:30, or so in the morning. It was very nice that we had booked accommodation and they sent a shuttle for us.
Anny Studios was a great place. Incredibly cheap, thirty metres from the beach, swimming pool, and we got our own room with a kitchenette and private bathroom.

The bathroom was one of those ones where the whole room gets wet when you have a shower so we always had to remember to take the toilet paper out first.

This is Perissa, the "city" we were staying in. It is very small but nice because it's on the side of the island with beaches whereas the other side is steep cliff.

We lived under these mountains. We hiked to the top a couple times. They smelled wonderful as wild oregano and thyme were growing there. We gathered some for cooking.

It was incredibly hot and we basically lived in our bathing suits. We would read in sun chairs by the pool and jump in the water every few minutes to cool down again. Here's my tan by the end.
