Andrea had insomnia last night, which she thinks was caused by coffee being one of the ingredients in the delicious almond chocolate cake that she had for desert at Avocado last night. Nonetheless, the alarm went off at 6AM and we hustled to get ourselves and the kids dressed, packed, and down to the van by 6:30 to go to the ferry. We're on the Blue Star ferry now, 8 huge very luxurious floors. The kids are mesmerized by video games and disappointed by the fact that wifi is not free on the ship.
We arrived in Santorini and were met by a local travel agent who gave us a brief introduction to the island, while we were driven to Kamari, where we are staying. We introduced a game to the kids that we hope will keep them engaged. We give points, redeemable for prizes for completing quests like finding out what the dollhouse size churches along the highway are for, how to say crater in Greek, or what is the furthest shop on the beachfront. Six points got them a frozen yogurt.
We ate at our hotel. The kids made their own pasta from dough, at a table set up across the sidewalk from us, under the chef's supervision, while we sat next to the ocean. it was fabulous to have adult time and the kids had a blast. The restaurant treated us to wine and dessert (flan, vanilla ice cream, and lemon sorbet).
Seems like it is my turn to have insomnia tonight.
