Day 0143

Big day out in the sun. Left the apartment with no plan, everything left to chance, which was fun and successful. Coffee and shopping then hopped on a bus across the island. Walked around the caldera from Fira to Oia. Endless whitewashed apartments and hotels and sun loungers and pools, but very few people. Steep cliffs, lava gravel, succulent plants, kestrels, martins, swifts, donkeys, yachts.

The horizon is dotted with islands. Mist blurs line between sea and sky. No clouds except over distant mountains. Constant pleasant breeze disguises how much sun is beating down on you.

Obliged the guidebooks and had dinner watching the sunset at Oia, despite it getting frankly too cold. Buses back to Kamari, crammed with tourists.
