Santorini

A interesting island. Until the 1700's it was a large volcanic island. The volcano erupted and sank into the sea leaving 5 much smaller islands. We were ashore for 4 hours. There is only one spot where the cove is shallow enough to drop anchor. We got there first and claimed it. Tender to shore with 3 choices to get up to the town - cable car, donkey, and foot. The foot route is a bit of a problem as it is the same path as the donkey path. We rode the cable car up. You can see all the different layers in the rock that form and then exposed with the eruption. It is amazing to be up here:

To get down Erica had to ride a donkey. We were sure it would be fine because we had seen this sign. 

We have left Santorini and gotten our passports back. Just have to pack and plan leaving the ship early tomorrow back in Athens. 

The Greek isles are incredibly beautiful. Traveling in April is great. The weather is cool and everything is not so crowded as it must be when there are 5 cruise ships in port instead of 1. One last picture.
