Our final days in Athens were spent climbing the Acropolis, walking the parks and seeing the changing of the guard at Parliament. Since then we have been on the Island of Santorini. We have decided to stay here longer than originally planned and will be here until Thursday.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are also here on the Island but we haven’t caught up yet. They must be eating in different restaurants. We saw their yacht when we went on a cruise (its the grey one in the pic) out to climb a volcano today. Yesterday we hired a quad bike and travelled from Perissa Beach (where we are staying) to the other end of the Island. Adrian drove the outward leg calling in at all the scenic highlights along the way and Joy took over for the return journey with a non-stop trip of about an hour and half.
Apart from lazing around we have also managed to fit in some Greek dancing, wining and dining and have walked the famous black pebble beach.
We are changing our plans for the rest of our time in Greece. We had planned to visit the archaeological sites at Mycenae and Olympia but we are all ruined out and will now travel to Meteora to see the hilltop monasteries and then fly to Rome to commence the Italian leg of the trip.
