santorini

well, weve made it to santorini!

the ferry ride was actually pretty dang awesome. we had our own little room that was much bigger than expected. i guess its good to expect little. had two little beds, a desk, and a bathroom with a shower. it was more like a shower with a toilet. the shower wasnt closed off in any way. its hard to explain, haha. either way, we didnt use the shower. but yea... we got to the port about 3 hours before go time because we had to pick up our tickets. we were allowed to board then so we did. we just hung out on the very large ferry for those three hours and chatted. we went out to the deck when we started moving. it was awesome because it was at night and you could see all the lights on the mainland and around us on other land... it was hard to tell what was what because it was so dark. it was windy and felt wonderful on the deck. we headed to bed. it was quite vibrate-y but we both slept really well. we were so comfortable in that room, it was the most space weve ever had of our own. it was mostly quiet and we never had to worry about roommates or drunk people waking us up. we wished we could have stayed on the boat longer! oh yea, we ate some food on the boat before bed as well, some meatballs with rice and then strawberries. i thought they would way overprice it but it really wasnt expensive at all. we woke up a little earlier than needed and went straight outside. the sun had jsut come up and it was beautiful and sunny and we were passing all sorts of islands small and large. some with a couple small buildings. we went and each got a hardboiled egg and some bread and got ready to leave. it was pretty sweet to see the island while we were approaching it. its a pretty awesome place. the guy from the place we booked picked us right up and drove us up to where we are staying. we have a private room with our own bathroom and fridge and everything. its pretty freaking sweet. we actually havent seen another person where we are at. its a little weird but nice to know ill be able to sleep all night. we just took a nap and ventured out. we dont have the internet but found this little cafe so i probably wont be writing too incredibly much. not sure what else to say... its nice because although there are tourists, its not very touristy. the people seem very kind and its like we are in someones village. its a small place, i think the island is about 5 miles across. ...im going to miss the ferry! i really wish we were taking one back... though it would be a little hassle to get from the port to the airport. a was weary about the ferry and i know not everyone has good experiences but maybe because it was a bigger one or maybe because it was a night one, who knows, but it was very very nice!
