Zoom Zoom

Today and yesterday.... well, yesterday we rented a quad for yesterday and today. (I forgot to say we are on Santorini, Greece).  The fastest speed we hit was 52km/hr. I was with the crazy driver Dad. Dad and  Mom also let me drive by myself for 5 minutes or so. We zoomed to a town called Oia  (Eeya) and watched a sunset. Today we zoomed to a red sand beach and a black sand beach.

At the red sand beach, we tried to snorkel but the water wasn't clear enough and there wasn't much to see.  Also, I tried to balance a thin rock on a thin rock, but it wasn't working for me so I put them together like a T for sitting on and then it all collapsed.

At the black sand beach we found some beach beds under umbrellas for free, that felt very tropical. I went snorkeling and saw and eel at this beach. He glared at me so I swam back and told Mima to get out of the water.

I think the place we are staying, is the best place we have stayed  so far.  It is good because it is comfy, they clean our room each day, there is a swimming pool and cake every day so I think Life Is Good!

I think that is it for this blog entry, I will get back to you as soon as I can.

  1. You are sooooo lucky to be swimming at this time of year Tias. It is COLD here. The only good thing is that we have seen some snow on the mountains!

    And -- cake every day. Yum, yum, life doesn't get much better.

    Zoom, zoom, watch out for evil eels.

  6. Hi Mattias,

    That is a great picture of you on Santorini with the beautiful blue rooftops and I agree that Pirate looks a little psycho.
    Don't tell your parents but I find your blog the most entertaining!
