cruisin

On our last day in Santorini we though that we would do like the Greeks and get some ATVs for the day. I know us? On ATVs? On Greek roads? We thought it was just as crazy of an idea as you do. But we did it, and we survived (somehow). We drove them out to the black sand beach where we did our last little bit of sunbathing and swimming in the Med. After some lunch at the beach we drove them to the complete other side of the island to Oia where we enjoyed dinner on the edge of the cliff and watched the famous sunset.

Our time in Santorini would have made the sisterhood girls proud. Goal accomplished. Plus I never thought that I would stay in a hotel with a pool while backpacking through Europe. Oh and George 2.0 (Fira George) deserves a shout out too. Thanks for the Mama's recommendation - her sex bombs miss her already. xo

mykonos beach life

Our Greek adventure continued when we took a ferry over to the crazy island of Mykonos. We spent the first two days on different beaches. They were stunning I tell you, totally and completely breathtaking. I have a bit of a preference for the second one we went to that was tucked away in a little bay in the Med. With no clouds in the sky, the saltiest water you could ever imagine, and really expensive drinks in hand we pretty much had the best time ever.
 Spending time relaxing on the beach was just what we wanted in the middle of our trip. It was a good break from all of the walking and touring we had been doing and would be doing once we got to Italy. Plus look at that water. I want to go jump in it right now. xo
