Santorini, Greece

Our first real day in Santorini, Greece, and we're having a wonderful time. Our campsite is great -we have a little canvas tent with two mattresses in it for 12 euros a night each! It has kitchen facilities and a swimming pool too, so we are very happy with that! Yesterday we walked around Fira, which is the main city of Santorini and has many pedestrian cobble stone streets and beautiful views over the caldera. It is the perfect time to be here because it is baking hot, not over crowded, and full of local people who love to practice their English! We are meeting a lot of travelers too, and last night we went out with two of our neighbouring tent friends, Jojo (apparently pronounced cho-cho because he's Guatamalan? according to Elena) and David, who are from France. The nightlife here is crazy, as you can imagine, and we spent most of the night dancing on bars with the owners and meeting backpackers from all over! Today we are taking a donkey ride up the steep stairs from the Old Port, and are going to make a trip to Oia to see the famous sun set! Here are a few pictures from our last few days!
