Our second R&R included a Cruise which took us to the Greek Islands ~ Santorini and Mykonis.  These are two of the most beautiful places I have ever been and would love to return someday.

In Mykonis Greece, we rented a scoooter to explore the island.  We had a blast cruising around on our scooter.  After we finished exploring, we spent some time on the beach.  We lounged by the water and even ate at a cafe on the beach. It was a great day.

In Santorini, we took a tour that took us by boat to a volcanic island.  Here, we hiked all the way up to the top of a volcano where we enjoyed a beautiful view.  After our hike, the boat took us to a hot springs.  We swam 500 yards to get to the hot water ~ and it was awesome!  We returned to the port.  The town is at the top of the hill and there are only 3 ways to get there:  A Donkey (which stinks really bad and "goes" on the path), Walk the zig zag path where the donkies "go" - which takes a minimum of 30 minutes to climb, or take a cable car.  We chose the cable car despite my fear of heights....  Santorini is beautiful.  We browsed some shops and then returned (via cable car) to the ship.
