The wind was no better today, but I decided to go down to Kamari beach anyway. I trooped off up the hill in the heat and the wind to the bus stop and caught the first bus that came along to Kamari. You may remember, that Kamari is where I encountered Stefan, my little holiday romance from my last trip to Santorini. When I arrived at Kamari, I walked down to the beach, only to find that it was too choppy to swim. I could see Stefan, from a distance still wor...

Well as promised I did managed a sleep in today, a real one. I didn't end up getting out of bed until 10am. I decided I would go into Fira for lunch and a bit of a girly day.
