What a fabulously wonderful whirlwind of a trip! We've eaten just enough gyros and schnitzel to last us until the next time. We've (window) shopped our heads off - with the odd purchase. We've travelled by plane, by ferry, by train and the U-Bahn. We swam in the Aegean Sea and followed the footprint of... Continue Reading →
Goodbye Santorini
Goodbye Santorini! Honestly, it's been great, but we're ready to move on now, so thanks for putting on one last show so that we could remember why we put your on our list in the first place. We decided that we'd had enough of the steps and had dinner at our hotel restaurant. They have... Continue Reading →
It’s pronounced Bo-Gan
You know it's time to leave when you're sitting in your jacuzzi on your balcony and all you can hear is a group of drunk, loud, obnoxious Australians shouting at the top of their lungs about how effin' great rugby is. Some rugby competition was on back home and the Santorinians kindly played it on... Continue Reading →

The passengers get tendered across to the old port where they can choose to ride up... Continue Reading →
OIA – Look at that Sunset!
When you're in Santorini, you have to get yourself to Oia (pronounced IA) at least once. They have similar little streets with the same touristy shops, but there is also some fabulous little finds that are worth the trip alone. You also get a great view back to Fira and the rest of the island.... Continue Reading →
I Should Be So Lucky!
What could be better than to be woken from your slumber to a chap bringing you breakfast on your balcony.... and to this view? We ate up and took off up to the main town whilst it was still cool. It amazes me how trees can just grow out of nothing! Today we walked up... Continue Reading →
Hello Santorini!
Today was the roughest day we've had weatherwise so far, so we thought what a great day for travelling.... but then as the ferry sloshed around in the Med, we thought, maybe not! Kiki was fine, but I felt a little queasy for most of the 2.5 hour journey and was very happy when the... Continue Reading →
