Santorini

On Friday morning we arrived in Santorini.  We took a tender boat in (there’s our ship, way out there) and then at the bottom of this BIG hill, you could walk the zig zag path (you can see steps in the bottom left of this picture), ride a donkey up the same trail, or take a cable car up.  I took the cable car.  Jared walked it. (and was one of the few to do it – from the entire cruise ship!)P1030032

We wandered a bit at the top of hill, then from Thira (city pictured above) caught a bus

Drove along these cliffsP1030022

And ended at the city of Oia…and what a beautiful place to explore!P1030048

Just loved, loved, LOVED all the white buildings and blue domes, doors, windows and shutters!P1030045
