Fourth Stop: Santorini, Greece


In the morning, our cruise ship pulled into a harbor area which was surrounded by mountains and on top of the mountains were all white houses with the blue roofs. This is where a lot of pictures from Greece come. We took walking tours through two different little villages and it was neat to just walk row upon row and see all these white houses with their bright blue roofs and doors! Between all the houses were just narrow walkways. It was neat. Afterwards we went to a beach which had black sand. The water was very refreshing (for my feet at least...) We had the option on the way back of going down the mountain on a donkey, but we decided to go to the cable cars instead. I'm a bit sad we didn't take the donkeys, but after having talked to some of the people who did take the donkeys down, I'm kind of glad we didn't! But everything here was absolutely beautiful!
