Santorini

so Santorini was amazing!! it has definitely been our favorite place so far! it's where the sisterhood of the traveling pants was filmed so you know it's beautiful there! we went into town and walked around all the shops and went to the internet cafe. which btw, is WAY cheaper so that's our goal now, to find internet cafes! then we had a light lunch of what i thought was going to be hummus but was "cheek pees" and was not hummus but still very tasty. don't worry ya'll, we took a picture to show you! at the restaurant we met a nice brazilian girl who told us about the beach and where to rent an ATV. yes, lauren and i headed that way and rented a 500cc ATV. i have NO idea what that means but my motorcycle girl lauren says it's fast! i made lauren drive even though we gave my license since lauren left hers on the boat. i was too scared, the traffic is crazy! so we put on our super sweet helmets and tied up our backpacks and cruised the coast of Santorini to the black sand beach!! it was AWESOME! we didn't stay for fear of not finding our way back so we snapped some photos and headed back.

after our joy ride we headed back to the cable cars to get down the cliff and go back to the ship. we decided to be brave and climb down the 600 stairs that are all slanted down in our flip flops. prob not the best idea we've had so far! we made it through the sea of donkeys and their poo! it was hard with flip flops and our legs were shaky when we reached bottom but we DID IT! you'll be amazed when you see the pictures how high it is. we were pretty proud of ourselves! then we enjoyed a nice dinner and went to bed at 830pm!! what a life we have!

today we are in rhodes, greece and it's hot. we're at another internet cafe and will be heading to the beach soon. rough, isn't?!?!
