Today was our last full day in Oia and we had the pleasure of watching the Judy’s on tour. The picture only shows the back of Judy number one’s head but oh my what a show they put on. It would appear that Judy one is waiting for her man to turn up, that she picked up on the tour. Judy two advised her to call her no good man for eating in to her time!

Dripping in garish, large. oppulant jewelry (purchase from the US version of Accessorise), with high perfectly quaffed hair, yes your A-typical Americans on tour. Discussing the joys of manicures, waving their hands feverishly over their food and shouting shoo at the flies (that’s gonna work), ordering a “cake thing” if you have them here! Judy two finishing her cake thing, puts on the lippy and asks Judy one “is my lipstick straight, do I have bits in my teeth”. No love you look perfectly plastic

Latest conversation is what piece of ivory necklace madonna happens to be wearing and how hard actors must have it. These chicks must be from La-La Land. These are the future leaders of America or basically the future Moms in their new trailer parks?

According to Mrs Fogg, I am quite rude (well yes I am), but these ain’t your typical Americans, these are your vapid, one brain celled things that are the future of our overall society. Like I really care.

tWas 7 years ago that we visited Santorini and stopped in the little place of Perissa, that at the time was quaint and cheap. Cut forward to present day and Perissa is a lot like any British seaside town offering “Full Inglis Brakefast” at £12 each. Ouch

Yup things sure have changed here, you can find the occasional gem, but be prepared to pay regardless, even in the Locals places. After the influx of the Americans, Greece has realised there is a killing to be made.

We hired a Peugeot 107 today (the Mrs decided a Quad bike was a little too risky), they even supply automatics to make sure our cousins can drive. Took a drive to Perissa and Kamari where there is an acient city of Thira which is up about 600 feet of about 40 switch backs on cobbled road.

The picture is from Thira looking down to Perissa (we walked up that 7 years ago, oh my). If you look at the map below you can see the twisty turny road from Kamari up the hill.

So now a chill then an amble back to Oia for a nice evening meal. Oh we did stop at Dimitris Tavern in Vlychada and can definitely recommend you avoid at all costs, yuck!

Two more days then back to cold wet England.

See you all soon.

The saying goes weathers nice wish you were here, but quite frankly we are enjoying ourselves so much we have thought of nothing but food, drink and each other.

It has been a fantastic few days so far, 24degrees, sunshine and fantastic relaxation. Today we took the scarey bus from Oia to Thira to womble round there and take the cable car to the old port, a very nice day indeed.

Tomorrow we are contemplating hiring a quad bike, ahhh scarey stuff on Greek roads indeed.

Food has generally been very nice, however Oia has certainly increased it’s prices, £7.50 for a bottle of beer and £23 for a bottle of wine in some places, rising to £35. OUCH!!!! Ah the Euro and tourism. Americans are now here in their droves on holiday (it is so funny to watch).

So we have 3 days left until we fly home and then it is the long slog to Christmas, but at least we can introduce Spike to his new home next week.

Off for more food and drink now.

Oh yes Santorini here we comes. Me and the Mrs will be jetting off very shortly on a short. Luggage packed, check, moved house (again), check, been to Ireland, check. Then we is all set.

Mrs Foggy has found a beautiful hotel in Oia (pronounced Eeaa), the Marrizan studio which is a hotel built into the rock (well here’s hoping it’s nice anyhoo). Don’t really matter cos there will be too young lovers (yes young still covers me) enjoying, sun, sea, relaxation and each other.

See y’all soon

And there you have it, 2 years to the day since Mrs Fogg and I moved into the little ole chestnut, we are leaving this quiet village.
