We are in Greece; actually we are on the Greek island of Santorini.
After our last post, we headed south to Naples to check out the ruins of Pompeii. It was EXTREMELY cold there, but the ruins were cool! Mount Vesuvius (th volcano) actually had snow on it!!
After that, we took a "superfast" ferry (16.5 hours) overnight to Greece. We upgraded hugely to get a private outside cabin, and it was definitely worth the splurge.
We spent three nights in Athens, in the "Plaka" district - a pedestrian district full of cafes, shops and small hotels. It was a great atmosphere - and very close to the Acropolis. You could see it from the street in front of our hotel.
We visited the Acropolis (which is undergoing restoration and had alot of scafforliding and a few cranes around it), as well as some other ancient and roman ruins around the city.
Now we are in Santorini, after another ferry ride.
There are NO tourists here - it is definitely the low season. But the weather has been good enough to lay on the beach. Here is Rob with all the other tourists!
