Day 11 Crete Vacation Santorini-Day 2

We made plans to meet with our friends the next morning to go check out the next town. Prior to meeting them, we went and grabbed some pastries at a local convenience store and took them to a nearby playground to eat. Tyler ate his while enjoy a little swing and then climbed a tree afterwards. LOL We went back to our little house and met up with our friends to go on our next adventure. We walked to the bus stop and hopped on the local bus to go to the town of Fia.










Once we reached the town, we basically just walked around and browsed the shops while checking out some of the local sites. There really wasn't much to see and do there, so we got back on the bus after a couple of hours.

When we were back in Oia, we said goodbye to our friends as they went to have lunch. Steve and I wanted to explore a little more around the streets that we haven't been down yet and found some cool things to take photos of.

Then we decided to go have lunch down at the restaurant that the guide book recommended to go during sunset. We figured it was probably packed during that time, so lunch would be a better time to try it out. We walked down the stairs leading down the mountain. The same stairs that the famous donkeys carry people up on. Finally, I get to see the donkeys!! :) LOL If I wasn't wearing a dress, we probably would have taken a ride back up on them.

Anyway, the view was magnificent from our table at the restaurant. It was so nice and quiet down there. Later we found out that Oprah even ate there. LOL

After lunch, we went and checked out a trail that we thought lead to a beach. The trail was much longer than we thought and we ended up turning back around. Instead we took a different way back up the hill, the more local route used by cars. It was quite the walk, but we enjoyed the view and later Dad treated us to some ice cream. Yay!!

We were tired when we reached our little house and so we decided a nap would be good. We went for dinner later on at a rooftop restaurant to enjoy our last Santorini sunset. We ate just in time to go down and take some more photos. We then returned "home" where Steve and I enjoyed our Chania wine before calling it a night.
