... close to the marina that has music coming from it. I ate a lamb dish for dinner and since the Greeks eat dinner very late in the day and will frequently make an evening of it, it wasn't until close to 11 PM that we left the taverna. <br><br>I went back to the yacht to dress in my club clothes and to go to one of the few dance clubs that remained open over the winter. Although it wasn&#8217;t packed, the club was still a lot of fun and we had a great time.

It&#8217;s a little cool outside for a party island that is famous for its nude beaches and all-night dance clubs. This is the first time that I wished we were visiting Greece during the tourist season since the town almost feels empty and the beaches deserted. <br> <br> This is ...

... I can remember last year when the city of San Francisco had to create a secret path to avoid protesters extinguishing the flame. And tomorrow I get to see where it all starts and always has started. So cool.<br><br>I think I'm going to quit while I'm on a flitty note. And start preparing yourself for the mass of photos that will be coming your way next week from the cruise. Thank goodness for this fabulous camera!<br><br>Kalli Spera!! (Which is Good day! in Greek.)

this trip was very special to me,because it was the first one after I finally finished with school and had the freedom to do everything I want,without anybody else controlling me!the only thing I wanted to do is find a nice place with great people to relax and so I did.i met many interesting people and it was a journey to remember!

... to eat. We picked a little place in the harbour and had a lovely meal Ian having lamb and I had Stifado was delicious then in the place we where they had a traditional Greek wedding taking place with live music and everyone was up doing the traditional dancers. The bride and groom had not arrived but they were due to arrive later I think we did not hang around and had a lovely walk back to the hotel and a long long sleep.

Took the hydroplane from Santorini to Mykonos. Stayed right on the beach and the cruise ships docked right down the beach. Island topography not as dramatic as Santorini but very nice. Surprised how dry and little vegetation on both islands. Got my whole body in the Mediterranean not just my feet (no pictures of that !!)

... for a 40 minute cold dark and dusty ride!! We went to Tao's, a Yoga type center that also has a good Thai restaurant. I love Thai and she said good things about it, we shared the Pad Thai and Red chicken curry and it was sooo good. I'd go back tonight if there was a bus there! This is where Paul worked so he was our waiter, after he got off work we all took a ride to Naussou to check out the nightlife there. There was none. Friday night and it was still dead. We ...

... the locals and finding out what they like to do. Dinner is always very late..around 10pm or so. Last night we ate at a very romantic italian restaurant..all white, pebble floor, with vines for the ceiling...and the service was phenomenal. After dinner we went to have a drink at a bar our waitress from lunch told us to go and we ended up staying until 3am. The bartendar Costas works the bar at night and is a scuba diving instructor during the day and ...

... to another....ahhh...to be able to speak just ONE more language other than English!! Santorini is also famous for it's wines and due to the rich fertile soil...it makes a perfect location for them. They grow the vines in rows of low lying bushes and wind the vine around the roots to protect them from the wind... My tour boat landed at the base of the cliff leading up to Oia - famous for it's sunsets. The only problem was lugging my increasingly heavy ...

To another island today. We decided to bike around anti-paros for the day. Had a blast - barely saw anyone, and certainly not another tourist. Pretty great place, but I just remembered how much I hate biking. Regardless, we had a great time. At night, we decided to rent a moped. Wow...that was a bad idea. So I'm not sure ...
