On our walk down, we saw donkey poo here, there, and everywhere. It was unbelievable. Those cute little donkeys (from a distance) make quite a mess; they're not so cute up close! At the same time, we felt bad for them. Some of the littlest donkeys were stuck carrying some of the biggest tourists.
Doesn't this look like it should be the other way around?...
One enormous German man was riding a reluctant donkey up the hill. When the donkey guide hit him on the behind to make him walk faster, the donkey bucked and flung the German backwards onto the stone steps! The donkey then proceeded to run down the hill, back past us up the hill, and then back down the hill again! Luckily, the German wasn't injured... he simply got up, brushed himself off (hate to think of how much donkey poo ended up on his clothes) and yelled "Donkey has own mind!" He refused to get on the guide's donkey, opting instead to walk his way back up the cliff. After witnessing all of this, we decided to take the cable cars back to the top of Fira.
The reluctant donkey, with the guide giving chase...
Ah... free at last (for now)...
Whatever... there's donkeys to spare! Maybe the bad ones get sent to the glue factory!...
After a late dinner, we passed by a bar and decided to drop in for drinks. All of a sudden, this woman jumped out of the darkness and grabbed Jon's arm shouting "what are you doing here?" Iliana, the young hotel hostess at Hotel Anteliz, had come to the bar to meet up with a huge group of locals at their spot. At the "locals" spot, they don't serve Greek beer. Instead, they serve Heineys and Amstel, and the locals get down to Black Eyed Peas (Let's Get It Started), Justin Timberlake (What Goes Around), House of Pain (Jump Around)... and Fatman Scoop! How's that for an authentic Greek experience on our last night in Santorini?
