The cruise: an epic saga PART 2
... We
got a deal though by going on a rickety wooden boat that promised to take us
there and back but didn’t specify when we’d be leaving. After 15 minutes
sitting on the boat we could see over by the store front selling the tickets
the sleazy salesmen were hounding every tenderboat-load of new passengers
trying to get more people on our mini excursion. Finally when we were losing

Fira to Oia Hike
... which made the remainder of the hike particularly hot. I finally reached Oia some 5 hours after I started walking where I explored the town, took in the views, and ate a small snack. With the heat and my general exhaustion I opted to take the bus back to Fira instead of walking back. Since Oia is a particularly popular destination the bus back to Fira was quite crowded.
