What a sunset!
... a small mixed salad (that could of fed 6), fried prawns. All good but the prawns were tiny and fried whole with shells and all. They were pretty good but difficult to eat so ended up eating a lot of shells. It is common in Europe to get whole small fish, whole prawns deep fried and served shells, eyes, tails and all. Just not used to eating prawns that way, well not fried and whole.

Quick update!
I arrived in Athens fine, and I am about to go to bed at 9pm cos I am very tired, and I have to get up at 5am for my ferry to Santorini! Hopefully my body won't realise it's 5am...

My accommodation is nice, and so far I'm not sharing my room with anyone!

Multiple ferries lined the dock. These boats are huge and carry both cars and passengers ...

For more than an hour I lie in bed with my eyes open as I don't want to miss the unbelievable beauty. The windows have suddenly turned into a live piece of art, -a painting that changes depending on ...
Athens
We poped out this morning to find some breakfast and a strong cup of coffee. Returned some eight hours later. Explored the wonderful local flee markets and then stumbled across the temple honouring Zeus and then we visited the Acropolis followed by a visit to their amazing new museum and dinner in a restaurant at the Plaka. We then came back to the hotel and enjoyed a Ouzo in the roof top garden. Pretty full day and very enjoyable. Like the Rome the main sites in Athens are all very ...
