Accommodations: Since our last update, we've gone back to LOW BUDGET accommodations. 1 night on Paros Island, 2 nights on Mykonos Island, and last night in London we stayed at simple hotels that we were thankful to find. (Apparently, finding a room in London on a Sat. night at the last minute is a little difficult).
Food Highlights: In Greece, we had taziki, gyros, eggplant salad (can't remember the Greek name), and lots more feta. It was delish! We also got hooked on Nutella in Greece....LOL. Can't wait to buy some for the first time in the states.
Rest: Lots of rest while we sat under beach umbrellas and read.
Adventure: In Santorini, we took a 6 hour sailing trip where we got to snorkel in the center of the volcano. We rented a 4 wheeler in Mykonos and explored 3 beaches and an old monastary one day. It was very fun to tour the island like this! Wayne even let Kelley drive once. : )
Humor: While at the monastary we met a Greek Orthodox priest who kissed Kelley right on the lips. Oddly enough he didn't try to kiss Wayne.
We wrapped up our week in the Greek Islands and headed to London yesterday. At the last minute we booked 2 tickets to see Lion King here in London and it was fantastic! It was Wayne's first Broadway musical and to see it in the Theater District of London was special. All the little restaurants and coffee shops looked like they were from the Charles Dicken's Christmas Carol set. Very picturesque.
This morning, we got up early to go to church at Hillsong London. They hold church in the Dominion theater and it was a beautiful venue. Awesome music and a very welcoming church. We really enjoyed it.
We've been getting some great photos, but since the laptop is broken, we can't download them to share.
We are in the London Heathrow airport waiting to head for Ireland and had a quick opportunity to use the airport computer to check in via blog. Only 4 days left of our trip. We are ready to come home but at the same time excited to look for the Irish Pot O Gold.
