Santorini

Santorini, well i made here yestrday,
it was an interesting trip. The Ferry was supposed to leave at 8 am but didn't show till 9am loaded and left at 11 am . After 2 days of no ferry this is just ok with me, At least I get to leave. cloudy weather- about 4 pm we pull onto a realy little island with no break water , so the surf is pounding into the concrete warf, the ferry backs in and manuveres on the lines where it is tyed up. got unloaded ok and about 1/2 the stuff loaded, but the surf was just so much that they droped the lines and backed off. Then we circled the island and tryed again, no luck. Continued on to Santorini another 2 hours. Backed in again with just the lines tied for manuvering. again no break water to stop the surf pounding. and no anchor. we were unloaded in 8 minutes flat. Before i was accross the car park the ferry was untied and heading out again. just too windy to stay tied up. the ferry could due with a refit. and maybe a new anchor.

The hotel i am staying at is lovcly pink. and has TV chanels in English - BBC world. I am so happy. I hear there was a big storm on the coast of Spain and sourthern france , that we have the edge of i am thinking.

on the Ferry I spent an interesting 2 hours talking to a greek gent who is living in Sweeden, so we had great conversation about cold weather living and other stuff. ( he didnt hit on me )
today itis windy. sunny warm blue skies and just horriblaly windy. 1/2 the stuff arround here is closed for the season.
