The islands of Santorini were created by a volcano which is still active today, but thankfully it didn't errupt while we were there. I spent most of the day in the town called Fira.
The first thing we did was ride donkeys (or maybe they were mules)! Me, Alexis, Kristine, Maurice, Brandon, Catherine, Diana, Kimi, and Kelsey all rode the cable cars down the mountain and the mules back up.
It was 600 steps for the donkeys to get up the mountain. It was so fun!! My donkey stopped to snack on a bush, so next time we pssed that same plant I pulled some off to feed him. He was so sweet and such a champ. It was such an awesome, once in a life time experience!
After our amazing donkey ride we went to have lunch. I had the best seafood in my life at this super cute restaurant. Honestly, even the water tasted better here. The food was so delicious and we had incredible ocean views. Need less to say it was a perfect lunch.
After lunch most people went to the beach, but Kristine and I wanted to shop a bit then head down. By the time we got to the bus station it was too late to go to the beach. We were really bummed, but Kristine said everything happens for a reason. And she was right! We ended up taking a different bus to the other main town Oia.
Oia is where the iconic blue domed white building churches are. It was truly breath taking. We took pictures that looked exactly like postcards that the shops were selling. We were only able to spend about half an hour in Oia because we had to make it back to Fira in time to catch the bus down to the ferry. Timing worked out perfectly and Kristine and I had our own little adventure! (We were the only two that went over to Oia, I think.)
