Santorini

Beautiful Santorini put on a spectacular show for us weather wise. We had three nights staying at Artemis Village. We spent a day exploring the island on vehicles (Oscar and I on Scooters, Nick and Chels shared a quad bike and the 4 girls hired a car). We spent the morning at Red Beach and climbing the hill to the Monastery for great views of the whole island, then in the evening we road to Oia to watch the sunset. Beautiful! Day two was spent in Fira (Thira/Main Town) where we did some shopping and met some donkeys. We had a nice group dinner on the cliff edge before an early night and an early ferry the following day to Ios.
 Riding Scooters (Jen being safety conscience and stylish, Oscar not so much).
 The four of us stuck together as the girls wanted to spend more time at the shops. Fighting the Greek locals on the roads was an interesting experience but a great day all the same.
 Red Beach, photos don't do it justice, the sand was burgundy. amazing.
 Highest point of Santorini. Took Chels and Nick a long time to make it up the hill on a 50cc quad bike, Osc and I were slightly more successful. 
 Views to die for.
 Sunset on the marble streets at Oia (sorry i forgot to rotate...)
 A long way down to the water, hence the donkeys.
 Sunsets and windmills. Such a god cliche.
 same again
 picnic dinner at the sunset. Raided the tin food section of the local supermarket. Deliciously cheap!
Eee Ore!
