... we headed to Pyrgos and from here up to the highest point on Santorini – the Monastery of Prophet Ilias. the view from here appears to go forever. My main observation after our strenuous day of walking the day before was that climbing mountains is easier in a car.
Continuing our exploration we went back down the mountain then around a bit to Kamari Beach where we promptly headed back up the same mountain we had just come down from, but this time on the other ...
... because we walked slowly, took breaks and lots of photos. At times the route is on a cobbled path and at times it’s just a goat track. It climbs up and down and skirts the cliff edge at all times. It really is something to experience. Along the route are dotted a series of picture-perfect chapels. I was disappointed to find them locked though.
Although the walk is only 12 km, its climbs and descents make it very challenging, at least for us and we were completely buggered ...

... us to a lovely café called Soul. Then we met up with some of her friends and had a really nice night!!! Thursday was pretty low key because of the heat. However, we did go to Starbucks and as I was ordering the power went out. Typical of Athens, really. Luckily it did go back on so I got my Frappuccino. Finally...this weekend. Friday morning we got up early to get on a ferry to Santorini! (I love the islands!!) Everyone from the BCA group came with us so it was a lot of fun ...

And this is Atlantis Hotel. Which reminds me Santorini is actually one of the possible location of the legendary Atlantis .
After a tiring walk around Thira, we retired to our room's balcony, and write some post ...

We had our dinner onboard the boat. The dinner wasn't that good. It's buffet style, with no tables, and drinks are extra... But the sunset view are magnificent! The sun slowly disappear into horizon, and the colour of the sky slowly change from blue to yellow, to total darkness, till the only light you see are the lights from the caldera.
... thought we could save a little by renting a scooter. So, to make sure I still know how to ride a bike, I gave it a try. I let Ai Ling wait, while I ride for a short distance. It's kinda uncontrollable for me, scary scary. A couple saw the way I ride, and told Ai Ling they don't think it's safe, doh! Ok ok... I must admit I myself don't feel confident of riding around ...

... the caldera, in fira town. We managed to find one of the cheaper (still not very cheap) tavernas on the clifftop overlooking the sea and the sun setting 0ver one of the farther islands. It was quite a romantic spot and we all soaked it up while we could, knowing its not something you do very often, and we will all remember forever. The food turned out to be divine, and we all wandered home through the shops in the white winding lanes back to our hotel.

... feeling mellow (read: sleepy from staying up too late) so rather than take the volcano tour I was considering, I wandered down to Ammoudi. The way down is on wide, pebbly stairs from which you can see the sea, the caldera, Oia, and eventually Ammoudi. It's a little strange to climb down with such a wide view; every time you take a step it's as if the whole scene is moving. It's breathtaking. In Ammoudi I found the least pretentious looking taverna I could and ...

... was a small young cat. She just sat there, probably waiting for some food. We saw a lot of cats in Santorini wandering around the area. We were surprised at the number of stray cats and dogs. Some day soon, the Greek authorities are going to have to put in place animal control laws. There were just too many wandering around. I wrote in my journal while Tony got dressed. I met our "neighbors" a couple from Canada. They had stayed ...
