I have seen photos of Santorini since I was a child and it was amazing to finally see it in person. It is built on the caldera of a HUGE volcano that erupted around 1600 B.C. The legend of the lost city of Atlantis comes from the eruption and the 100-ft tsunami it triggered. The streets of Santorini are narrow with shops on either side and there are times churches everywhere. Since Clif has been working late at night on the graphics for Adam's lectures, we slept in and tendered over to the island around 9:30, not sure what we would do. We immediately saw a tour service that would take us to Oia by speed boat and then back to Fira (Thira) by bus. So we did that. Both cities were beautiful but Oia had more high-end shops. We weren't interested in shopping so we just took photos.
There was another cruise ship in port so everything was very crowded. We used Trip Advisor to find a cheap local restaurant and had a great lunch.
Then we came back to the ship for worship and teaching from Adam. It was a long, full day!
Tomorrow is our longest excursion to Athens and Corinth.
