Santorini

A wonky liver has forced me to leave Ios so Wallace and I have now set up camp on the island of Santorini....a pleasant change after such decadence...by the 5th night my body simply refused to acknowledge the tequila shots...my tolerance was somewhere near BJ levels in his prime...all in all it was quite the experience...

Sanorini has quite the history to it....around 2000 BC the volcano at the centre of the island erupted (we're talking giant eruption....250 metre tidal wave that devastated Israel) and actually caused half of the island to sink into the ocean...subsequent eruptions have caused parts to re-emerge etc...so the geology is pretty fascinating...word on the street is that the volc is due for another money-shot so we're keeping our heads low and our ear to the ground...

Rented a car yesterday to tour the island (Me, Wallace, Coldy and Darcy...ehsan was sick in bed with some sort of Ios flavoured breathing problems...)...had a hell of time ripping our litle Daewoo topless 4-cylinder around these island roads listening to Neal Young on greek radio....Got a whole bunch of pictures to impress with including a magnificent sunset

Only drawback to this place is our hostel...the location is cool but we've been staying in the basement room where the doors must be closed at night for the air conditioner to work.... this means you stew in the detritus/stench of about 20 humans for the evening....we've requested and received a room change...

well....have lots more to write but the internet here is expensive....

starting to miss home....at least my warm bed and chilling with Nikita in the backyard....send word if any of you have the time...

oh...and if anybody wants a postcard send me your address....i've accumulated quite the collection but have now realized i don't know anybody's digits
