Santastic!

While we slept most of the day away (we got bed around 3am, the ferry was 2 hours late arriving!) once we got up and at 'em, we headed down (well, up) to downtown Fira for shopping and sparkling wine.

Anna and I made a pact that if we made it to Santorini on this crazy last minute route that we would celebrate in Santorini with sparkling wine! We found this bar with a spectacular view and amazingly specialized in sparkling wine.

The views from the caldera are breath-taking... The best view I have ever seen! Apparently they are even better in Ia... Not sure how that could be possible! See the photos below.

I also came across some awesome shoes made in Greece, first store, first shoes! I can't wear them in Santorini (all the maps have pictures of high heel shoes with red "X") but they are totally awesome, check the photo.

We had dinner at a Greek taverna, we shared a Greek salad, and I had moussaka and Anna had stuffed tomatoes and green peppers. The moussaka was SO good, the cheese, potatoes, and lamb. It was awesome.

Tomorrow we are heading the black sand beach, the wine museum, and hopefully the sunset in Ia.

The stairs are numbered... they top our around 600... we didn't brave below 500...
