Hello Everyone! So last time we were on here,we were heading out for a big night on the town in a little town called FIRA wow what amazing little place but soo busy and not busy in the way we think busy is. We went to a nigtht club called Tropical had pretty good music and an amazing view of the old port from above on a cliff. But lets just sat that the Europens know how to party lol... No room to really dance but we went with our friends (Mr.Toronto and The States girls) We took a bus into FIRA square and just walked the streets while ppl wondered. We went out at around 12am, no one here ever goes out earlier than 12am here as bars are open until the wee hours of the night. We only lasted until 2am as we are still getting used to the time change.
On Saturday we had a big day trip planned from 9am to 9pm.... We first started on a mini bus tour to the Highest point on the island what amazing views wow... Then to this beautiful monastary which was very peaceful... Then we took a boat to one of 6 active volcanos in Greece it last errupted in 1956 wow and it is said to errupt every 200 years... It was about a 40min hike to the top of the Volcano and what was said to only be a 20min walk nice try lol.... Of course shan was gung hoe about hiking to the top in 40degree weather in Flip flops Me not so much lol.... So me and our new friend Mr. Toronto made it about half way and stopped and rested. We met some real nice aussie ladies whom we hung around from time to time.... After climbin the Volcano we boarded the boat once again and headed over to some natural hot springs... We dove off the ship both shan and I loosing our bottoms around our ankles lol.... we swam about 100meters to the natural springs which were caused from the sulfur in the volcano.... It was really nice except when you touched the bottom it was slimy and it tasted like "shit"... After that we swam back and headed to another little island for lunch and we just hung around the boat because it was to HOT.... Shan and I tried to have a little seista on the boat but it did not work out so well....
After that we headed to a little palce calle Oia(shan and I are convinced that this is where they shoot the movie "sister hood and the travelling pants" lol) We first ported their we were given the option to ride up on Donkeys or walk the stairs and we choose to walk... OMFG yes these were the stairs from "hell" literaly they were never ending stairs and the were the most incline stairs i have ever seen... It took us at least 20mins to climbs these!( Shan and I are coming home with the best butts and great legs from all this up hill shit lol) But when we managed to get to the top it was HEAVEN.... The views from this point are unreal.... Not enough words to describe what we saw. At the top of Oia is one of the worlds most famous sun sets in the world, we found a cute little resturant with a balcony terrace named"Sunsets". We sat their for 2hrs with Mr. Toronto,to watch the sun desend behinde one of the smaller islands. Their were hundreds of people filling the streests to watch the sunset. There are not enough words to describe the views of the sun melting into the mediterranian sea.
Then we took a half an hour bus ride back to our hostel and took showers to get the sulfur off our bodies and were out my 10pm,one of our late3 nights lol....
Today is our lazy day with no real plans,except for doing our laundry which was very intresting but funny at the same time. Later this evening we will be heading back over to Kamari beach to go have a wine and cheese(suprising hey) with Mr. Toronto!
Talk to you all soon Luv yaxoxo
