Adventure in Santorini Pt1

Boooo! As good as it is to be back reading your great blogs i'm sad to be back in Denmark after such a nice holiday in the sun. Me and the Mrs jetted off to Santorini which is a volcanic island off the coast of Greece. We had a great time relaxing in the sun and eating great food, so here's part one of the photo bombing... ENJOY! 


Fee was mega excited to be going on holiday.
EEEEEEE!



We had to take the train up to Copenhagen as we could not fly out of Billund, so this was part one of the long journey.




On of our stops was in Milan where we had a quick bite to eat before our flight. Mushrooms, Ham and melted Cheese with a glass of Wine..... simple but very tasty indeed.




The next stop was in Athens where we had a good few hours to kill, thank god for the business lounge! Plus we got to see the 'Museum of Decrative Bread' while we were there. BONUS!




After one Train and three planes we finally made it to Santorini in the early morning. Tired but happy to have arrived to such a great sun rise.




People waiting for the 'gods of the luggage belt' to deliver them gifts.... sadly the gods were not pleased with us and we had to wait an extra day for our bags to arrive.





However, once we saw the view from our room were soon forgot about the luggage. Well done to Mrs Groves for finding such a great apartment.




No matter where you go on this island you have a great photo op!




As we were early our room was not ready, so we went for a walk around town. Turned out to be nice as nobody was about at that time and the town can get rather busy.




"THE BELLS! THE BELLS!"




Once the tour buses and the cruise ships come in you can hardly walk down these streets.
So getting to see it in the early morning was a great.




The local and very pretty church.




So much Blue sky!



As its a volcanic island you get some rather funky plant life going on.




Greece is the home of sweet iced coffee or 'Frappe' as the locals call it. Me and the Mrs are very much into iced coffee at the moment, so that worked out well for us.




Once we got into our room we were rather tired and took and nap and had a relaxed night.



The sunsets are AMAZING and we had a front row seat every night on our side of the island. :)
