Day 3 Santorini

All is right with the world again. I can reconnect with my phone & I'm drinking a coffee - the first of the day and it's after 6pm!

It was a travel day today. Rome to Santorini, one of the Greek Islands.

I left some stuff i didn't need at the hostel to make my baggage lighter including my carry-on bag (accidentally forgot it) but neaya, I figured I can live without vegemite for a while. Then I remembered it had my phone charger - and spare charger - (such good planning to put them both in same bag) but I've bought another one so all's good.

I left about 8:45am and had a pretty bus drive to the airport. I eventually arrived at the hostel in Santorini about 5pm.

At first I thought it was quiet here but as I walked towards the town the traffic is crazy. I think I should join the craziness one day and hire a moped so I can see the island. 

I've switched from coffee to Sangria.

I was at a wine bar & cafe called Graffiti. I chatted with an Aussie couple from Adelaide who have come over for a friend's birthday party. We agreed that it very nice of our friends to make us come to celebrate special events with them in fabulous places.

The most fun I had ... aha there was just a pussy cat at my window... was in the shop buying a sim card. Having won over their seriousness with some of my intentionally stupid jokes, he tried on the blue hat I bought to wear on the cruise I'm going on tomorrow to the volcanoe in the bay, hot springs and beautiful beaches at sunset.

I practiced yoga on the yoga deck as the sky grew darker and the lights of the town came on. There were even fireworks in the distance. It felt a bit special.

I was too tired to go back out to get dinner - I keep waking up at 4am. I lived on a couple of chocolate bars, chips and a small bowl of peanuts with the sangria since breakfast. I was still full from my Roman dinners!

It's after 6am. Time for a nap. 

Good night xoxo
