Today George proved once again that greek hospitatility is truly amazing. He was nice enough to wake up early with us this morning and drive us to Piraeus (the port where our ferry leaves for Santorini). As I type this we are on the Hellenic Seaways Highspeed 5 ferry to Santorini. It left Piraeus at approximately 7:20 a.m. and we should be getting into Santorini around noon. I've been really impressed with all the ferries so far. The one we are currently on has very large seats and you can barely feel the boat moving at it jets along at amazing speeds. We've been very fortunate to have good weather so far on the ferry rides as well. It is once again a crystal clear day with calm waters.
The plan for today is pretty simple. I've arranged for our hostel to pick us up at the port and then from there we are going to check in and then hit the beach and relax for the rest of the day. Tomorrow, we are going to rent a couple mopeds and make our way around the island. Should be a pretty laid back couple of days. With all the walking and sight seeing we've been doing over the last week and a half or so, it will be nice to relax a little bit and do some swimming in the Aegean sea.
