Fira
The largest town on the island and where all the cruise ships
stop, it's tiny port is at the base of the cliff and either you can
take the gondola or you can go up on donkey - but regardless
it's a very steep climb up.

The view
On a windy day we were able to see for miles - and joined
other tourists admiring the view from the top.

Gotta love those French tourists
A very lively group agreed to take our photo for us after
Brent took several shots of them - well worth it!

Yikes! That first step's a doozy!
We took the gondola down so we didn't have
eau de donkey for the rest of the day.

Gondolas cling to the cliff's side
The red arrow shows the gondolas that we took as they
make a trip back up the cliff.

Santorini is known mostly for its blue churches - but this
pink one was also rather extraordinary.

Giros at the local joint
Kate eats bread! Well, we were told that these
Giros were the best - though not an expert,
she thought it was pretty darn yummy stuff!
