Today we are in Santorini Greece

The baklava is great...

We arrived in Santorini this morning It is an amazing site to see. The town is up on top of the hill and you have 3 ways to get to town. 1 is by Donkey. 1 is by cable car or you could walk over 600 steps. Since we are not sure of the cardiac care available in Greece we choose the Donkey (Rachel and Dianne went up by Donkey) and the rest of us went up on the cable car. I closed my eyes (I am not fond of heights and neither is Rachel) and was up on top in 2 minutes. The Donkey takes about 10 minutes to get to the top and they smell awful! The town is wonderful full of shops and restaurants. We walked around and tried the Baklava which is very good in Greece - Image that!! We also tasted the local wine and Ouzo. We ordered some wine and Ouzo and had it sent home!

We had drinks and a plate of cheese at a restaurant that looked out over the bay the ship was in. The scene was wonderful. I have posted some pictures of the bike ride Dianne and the kids took in Rome as well as pictures from Santorini today.
