Santorini June 7, 2014


Santorini. June 7, 1014
This island now consisting of a large Calderon formed when this volcanic island exploded in an eruption somewhere around 2000 BC. We took the first tender from our ship at 8am to beat the crowd to the funicular (5 euros/person). Alternative access to the town of FERA are donkey or stairs. No crowds while we walked through the town. Next took the city bus for 1.6 euros each way to Oia for the most spectacular views of the white houses perched atop the cliffs.  We took a stop for coffee at a caffe overlooking the Aegean Sea. After walking further we ate moussaka and beer while Miriam had a no salt Greek salad. We sought out the one remaining wind mill on the island. Back to a long line of cruise people from the Celebrity Equinox to take the Funicular and then our tender back to our ship. Dinner and entertainment tonight was bases on the theme White Night in which everyone dressed in white clothing and we enjoyed a large buffet with about dish imaginable.  We were entertained first by folk dancers and musicians. Next was an evening of entertainment provided by the  the Voices from the previous night.  Lots of dancing
