After a loooong sleep in we went for a walk along the Thames all the way to where Westminster Abbey is. That took nearly 1.5 hours but it was a beautiful day (apparently they do occasionally have those in England). We (and by we I mean Q) had a pint at an Aussie themed pub then we strolled around some gardens and saw the palace and all the memeronbilia for the royal wedding. I realised I had now missplaced my credit card (don't ask) and I raced back to the hote...

We got up at 5am to meet our taxi in order to make it to the aiport on time to fly to Athens then to London. Our great luck continues when the taxi didn't show up. All of these airport transfer buses and pre-booked taxis are whizzing past and couldn't take us. They all said they would let the taxi rank know to send someone urgently but no one came. The taxi phone number I located wouldn't work. By 6am we were meant to be in line to check our bags in and we hadn'...

Today we took the quad bikes to the other end of the island. We went to some smaller villages that no longer seem to be tourist drawcards but were pretty and more traditional. We also went to Oia which had beautiful shops and restraunts with amazing views. Most pictures you see of Santorini would have been taken there. It is famous for the view of the sunset but we were out there earlier in the day and did not feel like dicing with death by riding those winding,...

We spent about 5 hours on the quadbikes exploring the island today :o) We visited the black beach of Perissa (volcanic black sand) and then we drove up steep and winding roads to see ancient Thira (inhabited hundreds of years ago before the major erruption). I may have driven my bike over the edge of wall into a vineyard. Thankfully depsite the drop over the road, the bike remained upright and I managed to stay on it. Q heard my scream and came to the rescue. I...
