Surf-n-Turf Photos Part 2...

So last we left off, Tom & I were leaving Symi on our way to Thira/Santorini...

That being said it was also my birthday (51 if you have to know). 

Now back to 'all photos, all the time'...

This is the view I woke up to! I thought there was snow
 on the mountains, then I took a second look!

A white city built on...

...a mountain in the sea, Amazing!

A little breakfast in the suite...

...then the tender to our day ashore!

Three ways to the top...

...walk (No), Donkey (No)...

...Funicular (YES)!

The view down...

Wonderful handcrafted art...

...& fantastic views!

We wandered...

...all the streets!

Admired the beauty, climbed higher,
avoided the other tourists,
shopped for art then...

...off to lunch!

A wonderful place named Archipelagos w/ a fantastic view!

The food was to die for!

Good to the last drop!

And a surprise...

...a delicious birthday dessert for
me! The staff, view and especially
the food were the best!
(A must try if in the area)
Thank you to my honey! 143

Back to the funicular...

...& a last view of Santorini!

Donkeys going down!

Back to the tender...

A brief ride back after a great day!

To find this! Wow!

The entire suite w/ balloons, signs...

...flowers & a wish!

Then caviar & Champagne...

...before dinner & sailing away!

An amazing Beef Wellington
for dinner & another wish...

Happy Birthday to me!
Thank you Tom, 143!!!!

The following day was sea day. We scheduled massages and the boat had some wonderful events going on (but we mainly relaxed). The main dinning room and galley was open during the day for a spectacular culinary display...

Cakes & Pastries...

...& Sugar sculptures!

True frozen drinks all over...

...then into the galley...

...to a seafood spread...

...& a fabulous cheese bar!

View from the galley porthole!

Time to go for our massages...

After the massages, a relaxing
Margarita at the Sky Bar
with bartender Martin!

Then a martini at the Observation
Lounge with Robbie (l) & Suzanne(r)
before a relaxing dinner!

And a night of cruising the Mediterranean... 

Ok, enough for this posting...

My birthday is also the anniversary of our best friends James & Greg! Happy 21rst Anniversary to our amazing, loving and wonderful friends on their special day!

Next up...

Back to Italy, Sicily to be exact...Syracusa! Then Lipari & Ponza...

More fun photos to come!

We would like to wish all the health and happiness to all our family and friends!

We love you all!

Ciao for now!
