Hi everyone,

We are on day four of our cruise. It's Friday morning (9:30am) and we're on our way to Istanbul.

So far, the cruise is INCREDIBLE!

We have spent the past two days in Greece. First in Santorini and then in Mykonos yesterday. Both were absolutely beautiful and we hope to return one day soon.

Santorini has been our favorite spot so far. The journey up the mountain was intersting to say the least. The cable car (which takes less than five mins to travel up the mountain) was broken....we had a choice of taking a donkey or walking up over 500 steps....we chose the walk (in 34 degree weather). The donkeys are CRAZY and stampede at random. There was of course an overwhelming demand for donkeys in lieu of the broken down cable cars so there were donkeys going up and down in no sense of order whatsoever.....we have the bruises tpo prove it!

Words cant describe the cruise and the beautiful countries we've seen thus far....we'll check back in, in a couple of days.

Bye for now,

Richard and Dawn
