This morning we got up around the usual time thanks to the rooster. We wanted another delicious breakfast, so we went back to Corner and sat outside again...of course, we also had the same waitress. Doug had the same thing as yesterday and I had a lemon-sugar crepe, both with fresh-squeezed orange juice, and we also shared a fruit salad with pear, apple, kiwi, nectarine, apple, orange, and banana.
We had no real desire to wind up on another disappointing beach, so after walking around Fira for awhile we decided to just spend out last day in Santorini lounging around and relaxing at the campground. After returning we bought an hour of internet access up by the pool bar and used it to research camping and beaches in Milos, our next island destination. We had about half an hour left so we wrote a nice, long and perhaps too-detailed e-mail home.
We decided just to hang out at the pool for the rest of the day. We settled under an umbrella in the shade and journaled, read, napped, swam, and read our travel books for about 5 hours or so. The waitress, who is very enthusiastic about happy hour, kept asking if we wanted drinks, but we only ordered spaghetti arrabiatta, which was rather bland instead of spicy but was not bad, probably because I love almost any kind of noodles.
After hanging out by the pool a bit longer, we got ready and headed up into Fira. We walked around for a bit and stumbled upon two restaurants recommended by Lonely Planet - NRG, which has crepes and waffles, and Stani, which has traditional Greek food and which we opted for. We walked up to their outdoor balcony (waitress: go upstairs to get better view and to get more hungry!), which has an alright view of the caldera. Two Greek girls came up shortly after us, and as they chain-smoked the waitress proceeded to dote on them and take their order first. Once she decided to help us, we ordered Cokes with a "Volcano" pizza for Doug and chicken with rice and potatoes for Sarah. The chicken was pretty dry and the rice a little bland, but at least there were some vegetables involved and the potatoes were good, as well as the pizza. After dinner we checked out the Fira nightlife one last time and then headed back to the campground hoping for a good night's rest.
