July 27 - Santorini to Ios

After rushing around in the morning to make sure that we got to the ferry terminal on time for the trip to Ios we were a little disconcerted to hear that our boat had actually been cancelled and the one that we were getting on instead was over an hour late. So, after waiting for what seemed like ages and ages we eventually got on the ferry only to find that we had no seats and that we would have to sit on the floor. This was no real problem and after an hour spent playing Go Fish and Cheat we disembarked and headed for our new abode, the Ios Resort, where we wasted no time in budgie-ing up and lying by the pool.

We did this for an hour or two before getting our fun kit on and heading to a restaurant called harmony which overlooked the beach. The dinner certainly lived up to the view with cheap cocktails, beers and mexican food being enjoyed by all as we watched the sun go down. It was an amazing meal all round and a perfect start to a night which ended up escalating pretty quickly. After some drinking games back in our rooms we headed out into downtown Ios and though Monty charged a little too hard too early and had to go home, most of us kicked onwards and upwards into the night, doing something of an Ios pub / club crawl until the wee hours. It was a great day all-round and a top start to our time in Ios.

Hope all is swell back home
