now on board to SAN TORINI





[IMG]our boat is a HIGHSPEED ferry, excellent, drinking,smoking possible,inside our out,doesnt matter

[BoRaBoRa]

first of all we arrange our room, a very nice,lovely and affordable place,
in fact the cheapest room we found was at the most expensive area of the country
30eu/2prs/breakfast




we are a little tired so we just go to Thira center for a few drinks and get back,
tomorrow morning we have to be dynamic for The Sunset Tour, where we will walk on the old volcano and swim at different bays...

enjoying pinacolada


look at her, very desperate, why? i really dont remember, may be my dear is so tired or what?

[BoRaBoRa]

Some view from SANTORINI,charming,attractive..ha?

[BoRaBoRa]

a man at his shops door invited us inside when he saw my tank bag, firts i couldnt understand..

he also owed a 1200gs and recognised the tank bag, he ordered us some cool drinks and we talked..

he had a nice model i could never find to buy..



now lets go on the sunset tour

this is our boat



walk on the volcano, hot and smoky







and the special moment of the day

[BoRaBoRa]

Tonight is Elif's birthday, we make a little celebration and live the enjoyable night life of the island...

[BoRaBoRa]

the next and almost our last day we leave the island, from Pireas we'll take the boat to Chios island which is the last stop for us before Turkey...

its a long and boring boat trip because we will arrive to Chios at 03.00am and have to wait fot the boat to Cesme-Izmır (TR) for about 6hours..
but nothing to do..



spending time in pireas, most of the shop are closed for siesta

[BoRaBoRa]

at chios after sleeping for a while on benches we get on our boat to Cesme (TR)



and in an hour time we see our country, some happy to arrive, some sad-trip ends

Cesme Port

[BoRaBoRa]

we have 350km left to home, and we are very excited to hug our kids in the evening...

Glad you had a nice time here in Greece. Our countries have much in common but many different things also. The kindness and hospitality of the Turkish people is widely known. One day i will come with my bike in Turkey and get to know the Turkish people first hand. Till then, thank you for posting
