Donkey or mule?

Day 44: Santorini to Athens

We found out this morning that our ferry back to Athens would leave at 8pm instead of 5pm, so we’re having a day in limbo – not enough time to organize anything, but too much time to sit around. We’re currently at the port, having a drink and watching the world go by. The kids and Carol had another donkey ride this morning while I stayed at the top to get photos. I think I made a new best friend. One of the donkeys came over to say hello while I was waiting. It was so friendly. We also checked out the archeological museum in Fira. It’s filled with all the items found at the ancient city that we visited yesterday. So much pottery in such good condition. The museum also had pottery from another site, dating back to 19th century BC. Wow. That’s old!
