We did a day trip on this boat that turned into the Krypton Factor

Here are some pictures from my travels. Plenty more to come hopefully

Maria

The best hotel manager in Greece. Her friend is also called Maria - she's in the white cardi

The whole village was really like this - just how Greece should be

Sunset in Ia - Oct 2007

They don't have bars with views like this in Preston

We had climbed about 240 steps up the cliff face to Ia to see the famous sunset, totally knackered, desperate for a beer - and what a view we got thrown in!


Morning, Kamari beach

The morning commuters, Santorini style

This is a scene I caught one morning down at the beach - the water taxi getting ready to set off round the headland to the red sand beach. Never did get round to taking it myself, something else on my 'to go back to Santorini for' list

Stone age bed

Fred and Wilma would be at home here

Well, the bed in the apartment was certainly different - made of tiles, concrete and some sort of mosaic. Very comfy, apart from when I was drunk [who? me?] and cracked my knee on the side of it!


Fomithea Apartments Kamari

The best little hotel in Greece

This is where we stayed, a lovely little place, nice walk downhill to the beach and bars [not quite as easy to walk back with a few ouzos inside us though] Totally Greek, basic facilities, quirky plumbing etc, but as friendly and homely as you could wish for.
