It has been quite some time since I have posted, Sooooo here it goes!
I went to Trafalgar Square with some friends to enjoy 'Malaysian Nights...Some great food and some musical entertainment. Then we decided to check out a bar we had heard of right off the Thames River. It was a bar on a boat right across the river from the London Eye! (Well bummer it wont let me upload the pictures, guess you will just have to look at my pictures on FB.)
Shortly after the Riverside Drinks, I was off to Island Hop in Greece! It was an amazing trip, Mollie, Jen, Tara, Alex, Jeff, and I flew from London to the Island of Santorini, where we got there just in time to see the sunrise near the southern coast in Kamari! We then ventured out to Red Beach where we decided to be beach bums for a bit, swim and take a nap! A short bus ride landed us in Fira, one of the bigger towns on the Island. We wandered the city for a bit then took a taxi up to the northern coast to Oia where we checked into our hotel (an adorable little B&B) and went to see the sunset! Dinner and some wine at one of the local restaurants was our last stop for the night. We were all extremely exhausted from long but fun filled day. The next day we got up had breakfast at the B&B, then made our way back to Fira to go on a volcano tour. We went to the port by Cable Car (had some of the most amazing views!) BUT little did we know that when we got there we realized that the ferry we were meant to take to Paros later in he day was actually on the other side of the island, we decided to bail on the volcano tour and see a bit more of the city and get to the other port just in time for the ferry. We did, however, get to ride the donkeys back up from the port! Jen named her donkey 'Don' how fitting!
After getting to Paros, we decided to check into our hotel and drop our things off so we wouldn't have to carry them anymore. The next stop was for some food, unfortunately many of the restaurants on these islands are out doors, and since it was the end of tourist season, the stray cats were SWARMING our table begging for food. The frustration only made us want to get some sleep and start the next day! Nothing is really open in the early morning in Greece, so we went next door, had breakfast, and decided to just wander the island. There was nothing in particular to see, BUT the views were phenomenal!! Later that afternoon we were off to Athens to see all the sights. Our taxi driver was a nutcase, but finally got us to the hostel after getting lost a time or two. It was great to see the sights, but the city was a wreck! Graffiti EVERYWHERE!The trip was WONDERFUL, but at this point it was time to head back to London and rest and relax a bit.
