Shitscared and headfirst into Chaos

Santorini, The worlds most dissapointing Volcano and other Greek Adventures

Well all's good. The trip to Greece has so far been pretty damn good. It's hotter here than Spain but well being right on the beach on an island certainly makes up for it. The water on these black beaches is superb, no surf for wave nazis though.lol. We arrived in Athens on the 30th and man talk about a sweltering shit fight. It was cool to see the Acrolpolis and all the other tourist stuff, you know as the tourists say "The Cradle of Democracy(TM)". Anyway aside from that there really isn't any other reason to go to Athens, it was cool and differnet, but it really is just high density housing with a bunch of ancient ruins peppering the landscape. On the other hand going to Santorini is perhaps the best decision we ever made, i recomend most people to come here, at first it looks like a big desert island and whilst this is true it has it's own particular charm.

Today we did a full tourist run and grabbed ferry tour out to the Volcano and over to Thirrasis, we also managed to hop in and swim in the supposed hot springs. It cost 25 euro but well it wasn't to bad for a whole day, so a bit of tourist fun wasn't so bad. As i said before we are staying on Perivilos beach which is good, the beach is 3 minutes walk from our door, our apartment is cool (except salty water) and thank the lord there aren't many tourists.
