We got up early and got ready for breakfast and then we took the van to our boat for our day cruise around the island. It was a very very windy day that rocked the boat. We visited four different places. The first stop was at the Red Beach where we walked to yesterday. After that, we saw the White Beach. The white beach is the only beach on island that was not affected by the volcano and is full of marble, copper, and granite bits. The boat cruised by the Akrotiri lighthouse at the end of the island. It was so beautiful! We ate lunch on the boat and the buffet was full of yummy Greek food. The last stop was the volcanic hot springs. We had to jump and swim in the cold Aegean Sea to reach the hot springs. It was more like “warm springs” but it was awesome swimming in water heated from the volcano. After swimming, we headed back to the boat and enjoyed smooth and warmer sailing back to the dock. We all were ready for a hot shower as many of us were still cold or shivering from the cold water! We were really excited to see the famous sunset from the town Oia on the island. It would be the last sunset that we will see in Greece by the ocean. It was beautiful. Tomorrow will be our last day. We will miss it here. (Post by Efrim)
