Day 19 continued

Oops. It sent before I finished.

...We got money out (€) and headed to find some dinner. After filling up on delicious pitas, we sat in the square waiting for the 1030 ferry. When the time came we got on and found some seats (much more comfy than the bus seats). We put our luggage away and tried the best we could to sleep.

We awoke on the 24th at 6am to tried to get off first and catch the 730 ferry to Santorini. When we got off, the Hellenic ferry booth was closed and we had no idea as to which part of the port we were at. Desperate, we asked a taxi driver where we could get tickets to Santorini (he was the only person who spoke english). Turns out we could take the free shuttle bus to the other side of the port where Blue Star Ferry Co was. We grabbed our deck seats and made a bee line for a table so we could eat our breakfast as the sun came up. Although it was a bit hazy, it was beautiful (hasn't rained since yesturday night). Now I'm just sitting here watching the beautiful scenery as Alicia naps across two chairs. She'd never been on such a big boat before last night. You'd think shed be more excited...haha.

oooh-- have so much fun in Greece. We'll make greek good this weekend in your honor.

Remember, I strongly suggest eating Saganaki whenever you get the chance. It's fried cheese. It could not be more delicious. Other than that, everything else is good too. Everything.

Visit the plaka and try and find time to go up that huge hill that has a funicular and look around. It starts with an L. You can just walk or take the funicular-- I walked but then I died by the time I reached the top since it was August. oh well!

Keep having tons of fun and I really enjoy reading the blog!
