AD and I are both huge eaters, and we ate our way through Santorini. One evening, I slipped on a pretty dress, AD put on a shirt and we went to an excellent and very chic restaurant, which was entirely empty! New food crush: beetroot salad with yogurt ice-cream on top. Amazing.
So what did we do on the islands? We spent a little time on beaches...but not that much. We walked a lot, inhaling the soft, almost sugary smell of fig trees. We rented a quad bike and wandered around the coasts. We climbed up black volcanic rocks and ingested a huge amount of olive oil.
I loved Greece. Before I left, I was pretty nervous. It was my first trip with my boyfriend and we've been dating for six months-it's all very new and freshly painted still, and I was afraid a whole week of twenty-four/seven exposure to Sara would drive anyone mad. But it was wonderful. Even when I got earache on the plane coming home and dragged my suitcase through a rain storm to get home, before preparing for a gruelling week of hellish exams, it was so worth it. I'll never forget the colour of the sunsets, or the way I could feel the past come back to life around me.
Now that I'm preparing for new adventures in foreign countries, I'm thankful I had a true week of holiday, with sunburns, giggles and yogurt ice-cream.
A few snapshots, mostly taken by AD, so they look much better than usual!
Beautiful Santorini and its ridiculously photogenic troglodyte houses...
Enjoying the black sand beach with my partner in crime...
Looking ridiculous with my Birkenstock sandles on our vehicle.
Drying octopii. The fishermen bash them first before hanging them out in the sun. I was both repelled and fascinated by them.
I'm glad you had such a great time. The pictures are marvelous. I share your thoughts about the drying octupii. Thanks for sharing your happiness.
