Starting the day

You will love us when you're older!

 

 

Zoe on the roof

 

 

Sausages in a garden

 

 

Staples in a tree!

 

 

Donkeys as construction helpers

 

 

Tourist donkeys

 

 

The steps are brownish because of squished donkey poo!

 

 

Me walking down the steps dodging donkey doo whilst the others come down in the cable car

 

 

Iconic

 

 

 

Does my ass look fat?

 

 

Oia

Took the bus to Oia (ee-ya) on the North of the island. Drive was a bit what I imagine Amalfi will be like with cliffs and narrow roads allowing the perfect mix of terror and awe.

A lot is still not open - weather and early in the season? Lotsbof wall painting and pavement cleaning. Like putting a new cover on an old book.

There is a large ocean cruise ship in the Harbour each day but we are told that in summer there can be up to 10 ships in the Harbour. We think it touristy now, can imagine that degree of tourist influx. Have heard it is similar in Dubrovnik.

So pretty

 

We are not "tourists", we are "travelers"

 

 

Always knew she was talented

 

A new souvenir. Yup, a shell that whistles! A must have.
