Santorini

We arrived in Santorini at the sunrise. The airport is almost on the beach! We got the bus to Oia (where we decided to stay) and went to the travel agency right in front of the bus station... exactly how the Lonely Planet Guide said, they are way more than gentle and showed us a couple of "hotels" to choose. Here, despite the end of the summer it's still high season and it's all fully booked! We decided to stay at Museum spa Hotel . Like most of the hotels here, this one was a private home, then a musem and now a Best Western hotel... there's the swimming pool and a nice terrace to watch the famous Oia sunset. We had lunch in a beautiful restaurant overlooking the caldera and then went to sleep since this morning we woke up at 3am. Woke up and found out we lost the sunset!!! It was 8pm!!!! So we went out had lunch... we ate a little too much and a little too fried! We ordered a greek salad that despite of the heavy breath it's really healthy and I was just thinking that we are eating right and healthy... (the vegetables are really really fresh here!) but then the zucchini balls and the stuffed eggplats arrived and all my "healthy" thoughts flew away! Now we are full and just had a walk in this romantic village. It is soooo beautiful!!!
