We started the day by booking airfare from Santorini to Paris!!  Santorini was not on our original list, but many people have told us to go there.  Since we had time due to the switch up to avoid Budapest AND we loved it 10 years ago AND 10 years ago Stu was still shooting film….  So Santorini is now on the itinerary.  We have a place to stay in Thira/Fira (in Greece every place has at least 2 spellings).  If it is good we will extend the stay, if not we will look around when we get there.  We take a couple of ferries on Saturday and arrive in Santorini about 1AM.

After that start it was a pretty lazy day.  Some beach time, some reading, some nap time, no walk time really.

We go for a late lunch/snack and Bruno accompanies us.  Today he let me take his photo from the front.  I’ll admit it took a bit of a bribe, a bit of my sandwich 🙂

We are ready for a change of scenery, but have to admit while looking around that the scenery here is pretty nice.

Across the bay we can see the trail up to the Castle that we walked a few days ago.

We have also booked our hotel in Paris.  We have less than 2 weeks left and have firmed up the last stops.

We play a couple games of scrabble on the deck.  Stu kicks my butt twice.  The 2015 Salmon European Scrabble Tournament stands at Stu 16, Me 10.  To anyone who competes with Stu in hockey, nine ball, golf, racquette ball or anything at all.  I feel your pain.  He is a very bad winner!!

Off to a bit more food.  Joan has asked for a photo of dolmades.  We order “Greek Variety Food”.  It is a sampler of mousaka, a couple of dolmades, stuffed cabbage, meatballs and some beans and zuccini.  We enjoyed this last week sometime, this time most of the dishes were barely warm.  That’s is we’re never coming back to this place!! 🙂

One more dinner in Leros.  We will be going to Dimitri’s place, Taverna To Steki….. again.  Dimitri is one of the few people in restaurants (all over Europe) that really make you feel welcome.  Takes the time to chat with us.  We like to spend our money with people like that.
