Day 14 (27/3/14) - Santorini A Foodie's Odyssey

Fava beans and cabbage rolls - traditional of course

2 euro pork gyros - again yummo ....
Chillaxing day in Santorini. A mixture of bar & food hopping. Oh and ouzo on ice in between. So addicted to the ouzo it's not funny! We visualise our next lamb spit as this specialty is something we have become accustomed too.





So we decide to book our ferry trip to Mykonos, the next chapter in our Odyssey. Done, tickets in hand happy days, time now 11am. Whilst sitting in our "local " 2 Brothers I get a text message in Greek. Now 1.00pm. "Excuse me" bar tender lady but "What does this say" I ask? "Oh your ferry has been cancelled due to gas problems" she explains. Gas problems - seriously!. Scull our drinks and make our way back to the ferry ticket office. "Excuse me, but I have received a text message and I cannot read it?". " Oh , there is gas problem with ferry and it has been cancelled,  I can give money back but no ferry for you". Suddenly we are in a Seinfield episode....

No problems, we always said that going with the flow is all we wanted to do. So now we go to Naxos instead. Well that's what we think for now.
