Breakfast today was much better than yesterday. You know why? ‘Cos we woke up earlier this morning so that we can eat the marble cakes! Hahaha…Yesterday’s marble cakes weren’t there when we arrived for breakfast, so today we must at least try them out! Oh well…nothing to shout about anyway.
Today’s our last day at Santorini. So we planned to do some souvenir hunting today before we leave this beautiful island. Right after breakfast, we drove down to the post office in Fira to post our written postcards. Actually, the idea came from Nicole. I had never sent any postcards before, ‘cos I think it’s quite boh liao…hurhurhur…Anyway, I decided to send one to my daddy ‘cos it’s Father’s Day this weekend (actually I realised it’s next weekend when I returned 
). So I wrote down Happy Father’s Day in Chinese and sent it back home. It cost 0.65 Euros for a stamp to be sent out of Greece, is it expensive anot?
(er… excuse me, not boh liao… is you boh sim )
(See, the vehicles here are so colorful!)
We spent the rest of the morning hanging around the shops in Fira. I had to buy some souvenirs back for my family, buddies and colleagues. So I also dunno how many to buy. Just wack! By the way, I think there’s something weird about me…I only looked out for fridge magnets every time when I travel…everything is fridge magnets fridge magnets fridge magnets..why har? I also dunno wor…so you guys can guess what I bought right? Also got postcards and coasters lar, ‘cos fridge magnets a bit ex
Back at Blue Dolphin, we packed our bags ‘cos we had to check out by 12 pm. Alexis don’t wanna let us extend our check out time till evening 
. Actually can, but we must pay half a day charges for the room! Tamade 70 Euros just to put our bags leh! Of course don’t want right? We can deposit our bags at the reception for free, so why not do that? Just cannot wash up till night time only, ‘cos our ferry to Athens is 10 pm tonight.
Before I came to Greece, Nicole asked me to bring cup noodles for them. Apparently, US don’t sell the chilli crab flavor by Nissin. So she asked me to bring 3, one for each of us. Now it’s time to lighten up my bag, whip out the 3 cups, and eat them for lunch! It’s kinda weird eating cup noodles in a hotel dinning area in the afternoon…I bet when the other occupants saw us sitting down on the table, slurping loudly our noodles, they must have thought that we very poor thing hahaha. Machiam like we paid so much for the hotel room that we had no more money to eat. It’s not like that okay, they never try chilli crab cup noodles before nia. If they try, see they will beg us anot…hehehe.
(Nicole: 3rd day on Santorini, our last day on this island. We could keep the car till 7pm, so we drove to Fira town after breakfast, planned on some last minute shopping of souvenirs. We returned to check out and had Nissin chilli crab cup noodles! This was the highlight of the day (for me). I wish for more when I slurped my last bit from the cup. Yummm…Clarence, why you only bring 3 cups)
The rest of the afternoon is back in Fira. Yup, we continued our souvenir hunting. Basically we walked round and round, ‘cos there’s nothing much to do for today. We stopped by this crepe place call NRG, and ate crepes. I had chocolate and banana, which was really delicious. Nicole had chocolates and strawberries, and Eric chose something that included rum in it, wah very strong…We also had coffee at this nice cafe overlooking the sea. Apart from the strong winds, it’s quite nice and cozy, sipping latte and wasting the whole afternoon away.
(Clarence: See lar, everything I do he also follow me )
Dinner was at this nice little authentic Greek restaurant call To Afkion. It’s situated between Firostefani and Fira, and you will definitely pass this small little taverna if you take the pathway between the 2 towns. I had moussaka, which was very much like lasagna, but Greek style. Nice 
Then it’s back to Blue Dolphin to take our backpacks, meet our driver, and be driven to the port to wait for our ferry. It certainly wasn’t a good feeling to leave this beautiful island. From the words of Nicole, it’s a ‘yi yi bu she’ feeling…means we left Santorini with a heavy heart. Goodbye Santorini, we will see you again next year, we love you, goodbye…
Love,
Clarence
(Nicole: We arrived at the port at 8:45pm. Had coffee at the cafe restaurant nearby. I was inspired by this couple whom backpacked with their daughter, which I guess is 5 yrs old. How cool is that? Some day, Eric and I would be backpacking with our kids. Hahaha some day.
The ferry arrived on time. Let me talk a little about the difference between AB3 and AB4 cabin tickets again here. 3 of us bought AB3, the price is higher and we got to have the whole cabin to ourselves. We couldn’t get AB3, so had AB4 instead. This ferry service separate the passengers by sex. I was assigned a different cabin from the guys, a couple of rooms down. Clarence and I did a swap, so Eric and I could be in the same cabin.
There was already an uncle sleeping inside because Santorini was not the ferry’s first stop. We took our assigned beds, which were the upper 2 beds. That night, we didn’t bath and went straight to bed. When we woke up at around 6:30am, the uncle informed us that the ferry was delayed and would take another 2 hrs at least. Hope the car rental guy will wait for us.)
