Tuesday 24th July 2012…….a few miles!!!

After a great sleep and advice from the owner George, I went a few doors down and got myself another woman!!!!!

I think I am beginning to get a reputation…this lovely lady is called Serena from Santorini!!!

I booked her for two days at the bargain price of 12 Euros a day that includes a 3 Euro a day discount because I am staying George’s place!!!!

So I had a good map lots of food and drink and away I went.  I do not think I have properly journalled just how hot it is….I do not know temperature wise but trust me when I say it is hot it is HOT!!!!

The other fact to pass along is that it appears to be as many churches as houses on the Island!!!

I really enjoy the scooter allows me to explore just about any side road. 

The first place I went was Fira to pick up my ferry ticket for Friday…this place was like a zoo I am so glad I am staying outside of the town …..the place here would not be to my liking.

Soon I was on the open road!!!

This was my lunch stop except I went way down past the umbrellas and found a nice quiet spot BUT the black sand is so hot here

unless you are on the boards you need water shoes.

Had 3 or 4 lovely swims and then back on the road again!!

The scooter was great and I was home by 6pm and had a quick supper and back on the road again to the lighthouse at the tip of the Island for the sunset..it was about 25 minutes on the bike!!!
