8hr ferry ride

We got up at 530am this morning to ketch our 730 ferry. We got on the ferry. Dad the trucks get on first and the back in, the cars have to wait. Though u would like that and they were very efficient when unloading at the ports.
We sat in these comfy seats well apparently u have to pay more. So we went to the outside comon seating. We had a seat in the sun so it was not to bad.
It was a long ride.
So once we got here we got right on the bus and told him we needed the bakery stop. Back up when we went to get off the ferry every one was piled infront of the cars and u walked off that way. Once we got off there were all kinds of hostels and hotels looking to pick there guest up. Tons of taxi. The road going up was steep one car brook down it sent people into a honking frenzy.
Once we got off the bus we started our walk down hill the directions were very clear it was great. We got welcomed by the welcoming committee four dogs. We got checked in the guy was great we are in the mix dorm and he gave us the two beds in the back cave so it is like our own room. There is one guy from Germany staying with us. The owner sat down with us and told us the must sees so that was great with his help we maped the day out. The capital is called fira and it is a 13 min walk from were we are staying. So we decided to spend what little of the day we had left there.
A girl was leaving so we got a three min ride into town.We got to see a very stunning sunset. Alot of the shops are not open yet this is opening weekend and finish repair. It is a very nice town. And we did not have to worry about the town at all there is one police station for the entire town and the have 20 office. And if someone got robed it would be the talk of the town for the entire town. He was very adimiment on how safe it is. And I can see why it is very friendly people stop to chat with u. Very laid back and welcoming.
We walked back in the dark no problem.
So out hostel is called cave land. Great place the room we are staying in is one of the original rooms built in the 1720 yep that is right we are staying in a true cave room we are under ground it is so cool. A very neat thing forsher. There is a rock sticking out of the wall in the bathroom. It is so interesting to see the rooms the are so odd. Oh something I did not know there water is shipped in they do not have and natural springs.
They make wine here and there grape vines grow in a circle, to protect from the sun, beter collect water and sunlight. It is so odd to see fields of these circles in them. Only down side it is cold in the cave.
