Greece here we come

Thursday 20/5 was Santorini day...what can I say but WOW!! We were bused up the cliff face and then out to the little town of Oia...it is picture postcard perfect (will post some pics soon). All the white washed houses, narrow streets etc..its everything you believe it to be. We then went to the other end of the island, to a black stone beach and dipped our toes in the Aegean Sea. Lunch was a greek buffet..delicious and then on to Fira...again another beautiful postcard perfect town. Here we shopped and caught the Furnicular (cable car) down to the bottom. Next day was Kusadasi in Turkey and our visit to the ruins at Ephesus. Now we thought that Pompeii was amazing but Ephesus is even better. The ruins are much more complete and it is a much smaller city so everything was closer and easier to see. It was amazing. We then headed back and had lunch in a 5 star restaurant...delicious Turkish meal and some Turkish dancers performed a traditional Turkish dance..which was fabulous. Back in Kusadasi we bartered our little heads off with the local traders and scored some great bargains!!! It was fun
