This morning we woke up with a thunderstorm on the air! Buckets of rain were pouring down and water entered in the room from the closed windows. Thunders and lightnings did their show. Here they are not used at the rain (see also Santorini cultivation).... and said that it was more than 4 months that did not rain. So we woke up and had breakfast in the hall of the hotel (since the only place for breakfast is on the swimming pool edge because they do not even consider the possibility of strong rain!) and we asked to call the travel agency because we booked a boat trip on the volcano. The excursion was not cancelled... in fact around 10 the sun came up again and everything was back in its place!... we got on the boat and went to Caldera visiting the volcano of Nea Kameli, Palea Kameli where we had a swim in the hot springs and Thilassia were we had lunch. The panorama was beautiful, the sun shine the whole day and we arrived in Armeni Port (the old port of Santorini) where we stepped all our way up to Oia, just in time to have a shower and to see the famous, beautiful sunset.
We also attended to a ChristianOrtodox mass... we heard chants from the church and we went in. They offered us their bread and it was pretty much a touching moments.
Gotta go....
