I've been to Santorini,Greece!

Despite the heat,Santorini's one of the best place I've been thus far.Gorgeous buildings!Gorgeous clear blue sea!but hm...not-so-gorgeous food and people.X)

Due to a tight budget,we took the "intermediate price ferry" from Athens to Santorini.The 12hrs ferry trip was around 60euros(two ways).
Upon arriving,we met up with the hotel guy and were stuffed into a tiny non-air conditioned van together with another 2angmohs.it was a 30min journey UP HILL. -___-""

and we didn't even had time to bathe!changed,we were once again rushed to the jetty for the island hopping cruise...we were a wee bit annoyed by the rush and wanted to skip the cruise instead.

Luckily we DID NOT!the cruise was more than FANTASTIC!

clear BLUE sea!


Do what the angmohs do...Sunbathing!X)

we made a few stops during the cruise.One for makan,one for mandi.we used our makan stop for both makan and mandi..hehe.because the mandi stop was at a DEEP hot spring ba.I didn't wanna get drowned in a hot spring(I can't swim dammit) and definitely didn't wanna smell like sulphur ba.bleh.
I prefer the smell of sodium chloride.hehe..

we made a stop at a volcano as well.I felt like tofu.Sizzling tofu on hot plate!The tour guide dug a wee hole and asked us to put our hands in it.> <" she said we could actually made half-boiled egg by burying the egg in the hole for 5mins. "eh say earlier can?!!*put burnt fingers into mouth*"
Our last stop was the highlight.I can't remember what's this place called though..=P It was supposed to be the place with the best,most romantic sunset view.This place was SO gorgeous that even photography noobs are professional photographers!you really need to be there yourself to fully understand what I mean.







Gorgeous chick of the day:
Paparazzi shot..heh.



After lots and lotsa camwhoring,we decided to head for our last destination...the sunset viewing platform.That place was flooded with people!We M'sian Chinese are born with survival instinct+ kiasu-ness.so we got ourselves the utmost strategic spot for sunset viewing..even more strategic than the platform.

cool huh?quite a few angmohs actually took photos of us instead!haha..new tourist attractions in Santorini.



and true enough...the sunset was indeed..indescribably beautiful.

we woke up as early as 7am(?) for a bath at the nearby black sand sea the next day before being stuffed into the wee van and ferried back to Athens again.

Santorini...another beautiful God's creation.

It was indeed..a dream come true.^^

p/s:Santorini trip was not as expensive as imagined.Two-ways ferry ticket was abt 60euros(or cheaper if u don't mind longer journeys) and our hotel was only 12euros per pax.There were actually cheaper rooms available.(as cheap as 8euros per pax!).
