today was a really nice day

when i woke up this morning i knew today was going to be a good one - the sky was completely clear and there was only a light breeze.

once again spent some time at kamari beach - have decided its my favourite of santorini's beaches due to its lack of wind, wifi and awesome ice cream! 

at 2pm dee, annie and i caught the bus back to fira in order to go on our much anticipated boat cruise. ever prepared, we took changes of clothes, jumpers, baguettes, pringles, water and alcohol. 

to be honest, the boat cruise itself was an absolute letdown. but we had an awesome time regardless! the volcano required lots of uphill walking in scorching heat, only for us to be greeted with mounds of volcanic rock and no sign of the supposed active volcano. 

our second stop was the hot springs. try water that looked like the yarra blending with sea water. it was like swimming through patches made artificially warm by other swimmers. the highlight of the stop was a newlywed husband losing his wedding band in the murky waters.

onto sunset at oia. we made a brief detour to thirassia in order for our beverages to be distributed. best wine i've ever tasted - think warm vinegar in a water cooler cup. then the one good part of our trip - the sunset was spectacular. the sky was blush pink and the sun looked like a peach orb, rapidly lowering towards the horizon. 

despite the underwhelming tour, the girls and i had lots of fun and embraced our inner tourists. when we got back this evening we cracked open our bottle of white, got some crepes and then went out dancing. it was a really awesome day!
