Leaving Santorini

Santorini, 11:17am - In a little over an hour we're catching a flight back to Athens. I have enjoyed being on Santorini. The weather has gotten better the longer we've been here. There's hardly any wind today and a heat wave is coming. Tomorrow is supposed to reach 39 degrees celcius (102 degrees fahrenheit). That's hot and just in time for the huge wedding party that is arriving today. The hotel staff has been busy putting out flowers everywhere. We've heard that they are renting out the entire resort for three days. But anyways, last night we went into Fira to watch the sunset and have some drinks. Unfortunately, there have been clouds every night along the horizon so we haven't actually seen the sun set into the sea, but it has still been pretty. We ate in a place by our hotel last night called Feggira (?), which was very good. Some of the best food we've had so far and very reasonably priced. It's run by a very nice couple who decided to start their own restaurant last year. The area our hotel is in has been very nice. It's not in one of the main towns like Ia or Fira but in the little town of Megalachori, which is kind of in the middle so it's not actually next to any one thing but it's close to everything. Being a small town it's also a lot quieter. But now it's back to the big city of Athens. I can't believe I'm going to be in Berlin tomorrow!
