Next we went down the cable cars to the old port.
And up on the donkeys .
The donkeys are traditional on Santorini because they can carry up to one fifth of their body weight (and they weigh about 500kgs) up the very steep mountains. My donkeys number was 271 and all the donkeys click up the cobbled paths with their bells ringing.

We went to Oia by bus. The Greeks call it Eeya
I explored the markets and had a bit of a run around.
Lots to see.

After that we had a luscious dinner at a tavern called ESTIA. I had "Spaghetti In The Oven". That is spaghetti cooked with bacon , cheese and thick creamy tomato sauce. it came in a stone bowl straight from a hot oven. I think it had a beautiful taste.
We have had some good meals in Greece and I think that the Greeks are really involved , interested and proud with their food. I think this because their traditional food is really very tasty. There is lots of seafood in Greece because their country has over 200 islands = lots of beaches = lots of fish. They also make delicious meat dishes with Lamb , Pork and chicken. Here in Santorini they are very proud of their Fava beans , cherry tomatoes and Capers . My Dad loves the beans(he gets lots of wind)! My favourite dish was the succulent Pork Gyros, but I also l tried tzazki (with yogurt and cucumbers and garlic), pork fillet, grilled halloumi, fava dip and home made sausages.
Also, I tried octopus. It came with some Calimari rings. liked the squid more.
All in all I had a great day.
Now,lets go through the things I did today :
