a place that lives up to hype

oia is utterly gorgeous. simply imagine postcards of santorini and that is where i am for the next 4 nights! 

got up this morning after a lovely 10 hour sleep and decided to walk into town. big mistake. it was utterly boiling, steep and 6km away! thankfully after walking for over half an hour a lovely man honked his horn at me and then offered me a lift. my first ever experience hitch hiking! 

started off by exploring oia, where i made my first clothing purchase of the trip - denim shorts are just too hot in this weather! 

then wandered down 300 steps to ammoudi bay to have a dip in the azure waters. added bonus that there were super hot scandinavians swimming there too! of course, i wasn't really looking forward to walking back to climbing back up the stairs...

it was awesome! thought i was going to fall off so many times, but definitely don't regret doing it - so much fun!!! 

caught a bus into fira to check it out, where i almost immediately ran into some guys from brisbane who'd been at my hostel in ios. ended up spending the day touring the island with them on quad bikes!

just got home from having a great dinner at watching the sunset over the caldera. have booked to do a boat trip around the island in a couple of days and i can't wait. santorini is definitely my kind of place!!!
