We arrived into the port of Piraeus yesterday morning and traveled to the Acropolis and the flea market nearby. The Acropolis was absolutely amazing to see and unbelievable to think that the ruins have been there for 2000 years. Oh and the rumors are true: conjunctivitis (also known as pink eye) is going around the ship. And the latest victim? This girl. I woke up yesterday, on the morning of our first day in Greece with a swollen eyelid and a delicious goopy substance covering it. I made it into the medical office on the ship at 7am and was prescribed a heavy duty small bottle of eye drops for a mere 27 dollars. Worth it. My eye is completely back to normal now thank goodness!
Anyway, most of the students on the ship were traveling to the island of Mykonos for our time in Greece, but I didn't really feel the need to experience more night life and I have always dreamed of seeing Santorini. So Meghan, Ashley, and I took the 7pm ferry out last night and arrived in the beautiful island of Santorini around 1am. We had been able to book a hotel using our internet time on the ship and we love it. We are currently at the Hotel Perissa a few minutes away from the Black Sand Beach and have a relaxing and eventful day ahead of us! More later. Love you all.
