Santorini Day 4
After a fun night out, we took the morning off and slept in. Once we got out act together we headed to Santos Winery right outside of Fira where we weren’t able to tour the winery in English but settled for a glass of semi sweet rosa wine which was delicious.
We spent the afternoon wandering around Fira which included a text message to our new Greek friends, a chat with Zacho and some wonderful shopping. But when we got bored with walking around, McKin and I decided to take a load off by taking a cable car down to the Fira port where we promptly took a donkey back up the 500ish steps. Laughing all the way and trying to keep the donkeys from tearing up our legs on the rocks, it was by far the best hour and 5 Euro I’ve spent on this trip.
We poked our heads into the Catholic Church of Santorini before meeting the rest of the girls at “the usual spot” (aka, the place where we watch the sunset every night. After a wonderful 2 hours of conversation and accosting a handful of UNC students we headed back for showers, dinner, and our nightly nap. Ellen cooked another fabulous meal which we ate on the patio of the villa with two Italian men from Naples who are also staying the villa. The conversation was absolutely fantastic despite the fact that Leno and Geraldo’s English was not much better than my Italian.
We headed back to Fira about 1 am which is when the town actually comes alive and did some shopping and dancing. We went straight to Mamounia where our Greek friends gave us our club for the night (aka a card with their name on it and a note telling the bouncer we were their friends and needed to get in free!)
And here I am again at 5 am typing this with the hopes of posting it some time on Sunday. Don’t worry, I won’t be going asleep for another hour because Spiros is taking McKinley to the airport for her flight to Venice!
So, good night to you since you’ll probably make it there before I do.
Kalinihta. (Good Night).
