Day 2 - Lazy Hazy Days After our rubbish journey, a relaxing, chilled-out day was needed. The day started with breakfast at our hotel, eaten poolside. It's the normal continental affair, which for me usually ends up as a George's Marvellous Medicine type concoction - bread, cheese, Nutella, egg, cake, waffle...that kind of thing. It was a sunny start, albeit a bit cloudy. The proprietress was there, stoic and stern, but our hotel is proving to be quiet and pleas...

Day 1 - Travel Woes... Hello everyone! I'm venturing into blog-land again...Here we are on our third trip to Santorini. I know that makes us sound like an elderly couple who have been to the same hotel in Skegness for 40 years, but I bloody love it and I'm so excited to explore the island more thoroughly. Also I haven't yet blogged from here, so here goes! This entry will be quite short as we spent the entire f***ing day travelling. A journey that should have ...

Day 4. Our final day! I feel like our visit has been no where near long enough.

It really is a beautiful place, especially today as the weather was...

Day 3. Our third day started with another charming breakfast at the hotel, and the weather was a bit breezier and cooler today. Still got my shorts on and got my legs out though, obvs! We had a mooch around town after breakfast, and this place really comes alive in the daytime especially on a Saturday it seems. It was really bustly and there was a brill market at the Place Carnot (scene of the burnt cassoulet crime!). It was a fruit and veg market with a couple ...

Day 2. After a very comfortable sleep we started the day with some brekkie in the shady hotel garden. It was a classic, elegant affair with bread and jams and fruit in the cool courtyard. Feeling replete, we set off on our exciting expedition to the medieval city, which is about a 15 minute walk from our hotel. Which doesn't seem far, but today was Hotter. Than. The. Sun. So naturally I could wring out my shirt by the time we got to the top of the hill, but luck...
