ABBA was blasting out over the beach at Kamera today on the Greek Island of Santorini. Celebrity watchers on the hunt for Pierce Brosnan were not disappointed when Aussi tourist Rob V (travelling incognito) donned his bathers and joined the brave swimmers enjoying this picturesque stretch of Aegean Sea.
While Tess sipped a local wine at her palm fringed table, Rob dazzled the locals with his Australian Crawl. Camera Hogging locals began jumping from the volcanic rocks that edged this clear patch of water which finally revealed why so many Europeans flock to these islands in search of sun. It was a civilised way to pass a few hours at the beach. Oh, the "sand" comprised rounded black pebbles which tickled rather than cut as you walked off the boardwalk to the sea. It was a lovely surprise to stumble upon on our morning's drive.
Yes we hired a car for the day. The island is not large - 5 euro would pay the petrol - and we feel we have seen most of its highlights.
Had planned to head out tonight fo one last sunset dinner - this time at Akiroka - but I can't negotiate these roads and navigate and the signs are all Greek to my navigator after 7 weeks stiurling service. She needs a short break or service.
Running out of light and battery. Enjoyed a sandwich on our balcony instead tonight and finishing off some accumulated snacks before tomorrow - checkout, return car, visit museum, shop a little, return to hotel for transfer to port, catch fast boat to Piraeus (only 5 hours!), find taxi to take us to City Plaza hotel, retrieve suitcases from storage, re-pack, eat something on the rooftop restaurant with views of Parthenon and then try to sleep before 3pm flight to Sydney on Monday. And I wonder why I am tired.
