Day 7 (and 8...) - So Long, Farewell... Day 7 was our last full day - waaaah! We had to return our little car to the rental place (sob!!) and after we did that we took advantage of the blissfully sunny day and lazed around the pool. We headed back to Charlina's for a very trad Greek lunch (Greek salad, tzatziki and feta) and then I had some beach time. There's really not much to report as we did practically nothing! In the evening we had dinner at Ntomatini's, a...

Day 6 - "Oia, Oi-a oh!" So today started with a HUGE hangover...I blame tequila! I dragged my sorry ass to breakfast (which is more than can be said for Andrew!) which helped a little bit, and then equilibrium was fully restored after a swim in the crystal clear sea. We still had the car today, so we drove to Oia, famous for its caldera views and sunsets, located on the northernmost tip of the island. It is quite a schlepp up there, and after hurtling into oncom...

Day 5 - Sunbathing and drunkenness... I had a very slow start to the day today - I didn't even make it to breakfast!

Situated on top of a hill in the middle of the island, Pyrgos is the prettiest of the villages we've explored. It has a b...

Day 4 - Hit the Road, Jack... Today started with a trip to the beach - hooray! Our hotel is about a 5 minute walk to Perissa beach, which is a long strip of black sand. I think it's gorgeous, and even though the bars spill out onto the sand it still manages to be peaceful and relaxing. I love swimming in the sea, so it was a great start to the day. Andrew scooped me up after a couple of hours and we went to pick up our car from the rental place. Our little, auto...

Day 3 - Birthdaaaaay!!! Today was Andrew's birthday, so the day began with him opening his presents and cards, which I had hidden in the suitcase. After brekkie, as is tradition, we went for a wee sunbathe, but sadly it was a very cloudy morning so the sunbathing was a little bit disappointing. Undeterred, we stuck it out for a while, but after about an hour and a half decided to call it quits and venture out for a bit of an explore. We went to see if we could h...
