Santorini - Day 2

Sunshine, cannot help but be happy.

Santorini in the sun is beautiful. The blue and white buildings, the black beach, the red beach, the white beach, the churches, the numerous bakeries, the souvenir shops, the windmills , the people, everything is gorgeous in the sun.

Hired a car, manual, left hand driving, narrow windy roads, happy to be a passenger, my job was to remind Jeevan about the right side. Great way to see the island.

At one point of time trying to get a picture in Megalochori,the traditional village , Jeevan hauled me up on a rooftop. We were trying to be discrete as we were unsure if it was alright to be there, when I noticed the whitewash was all over my clothes, not very discrete.

Spent the evening in Oia, northern tip of the island, the place to be for the sunset. The blue domed churches are in every postcard of Santorini. From deserted Kamari to a jostling Oia, all the open areas were full of tourists waiting for the sunset. When it set people started clapping, the show was over.

The drive back at night was a little worrying as the petrol nearly ran out , we reached back just in time.
