Santorini, Greece

It was an adventure just getting on to the island of Santorini. The first picture is the view from the ship. There aren't any roads from sea level to the top, the only way up is by donkey along the zig zag path you can see in the center, or by the tram lift that is just to the left of the path... We opted for the tram :) The cliff is near verticle and riding up in the tram, dangling from the cable feels like your literally hanging from a thread 1000 feet over the sea. The second picture is the view from the top, well worth the ride up the cliff. You can see how the clouds settle into the bay and you literally rise above them as you travel up the cliff. You can see our ship in the distance below the clouds, ours is the furthest one out. Once up top we rented a car and drove to the northern tip of the island for what was supposed to be the best views of the town and bay below. There was a lot of low cloud cover so unfortunately the pictures I was hoping to get weren't possible but there were still some fantastic views.
