last stop: santorini

Well, my last stop will actually be the port of Piraeus and on to home, but for now, I've got four days left and they'll be in Santorini. I'm looking forward to more of the island lifestyle, though I've heard it'll be a bit livelier than quiet Naxos.

That said, Naxos has been just the antidote I needed to a sleepless night on Mykonos. Lounging beach and poolside with a book is really all I wanted out of my island excursion and that's just what I got. Eating delicious seafood was just an added bonus. In fact, I think I've only eaten meat twice in the last 8 days. I think we're going for gyros for lunch to make up for that.

As lovely as it is to sit around, it'd be nice to do some more exploring. I think I'll save that for next time. Two weeks on one or maybe two islands would be just enough time to explore a place by car, on foot or bicycle. Not moped or motorcycle. Those things freak me out.

I'll check in a few more times before my *early* Friday morning flight home. I know before I said I don't want to come home, but in the last couple days, I've decided I'm ready to have my bed back. And a sizable bathtub would be nice. And not sharing a bathroom with a boy. That'd be really nice, too. No complaints about my travel companion, but still...he's a boy.

Love and ouzo, everybody!
