Can you believe they just turned me loose with a rental car? Yikes! After my initial nerves, I had a really fun time. The hotel owner gave me a map and itinerary but of course I got lost right off the bat and ended up seeing the third place first, so after that i let go of any kind of plan and just kept driving. I don't think I've ever seen so many beautiful views in one day. This place is gorgeous!! And small, so it was pretty easy to do the tour in one day. I left the hotel at about 9:30 and got back around 6pm. I saw the sunset in Oia, which is the thing to do. Once again, I was accompanied by a cat.
There's a nice couple from Venezuela staying at the hotel. They checked in last night and had the same plan today - to rent a car and see the sites. We ended up at the same place for lunch, so that tells you how small santorini is! The beach towns had an almost eery feel to them. They are deserted. I can imagine what it must be like in the summer. Exciting, I'm sure, but for my purposes I have really enjoyed the quiet and more relaxed atmosphere.
I could say more, but I think I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
It looks amazing! Glad you are having such a good time and finding your way around. James told me yesterday it's remarkable that Alana already has a better sense of direction than I do. Are you ready to come home or feel like you need more time?
ReplyDeleteAfter today, I'm ready to come home. There's not much to do without a car and everything closed up for winter. Kind of tired of being alone, actually. Wish you were in Denver! Glad I'll at least get to see you at Christmas, so not too far away.
