@Cathindy you didn’t warn me about Oia

. I wasn’t expecting a 1hr queue to see the blue dome roofs

. It was nuts, with people trying to get the perfect IG shot. It was like a full on fashion photo shoot up there

. After that fiasco you had the craziness of trying to find a spot to see the sunset. I thought getting up at 3am to see the sunrise at Angkor Wat was challenging, but I’ve never experienced anything like yesterday. Hundreds of people, police trying to keep things in order with people climbing on precarious walls and roofs of buildings to get the “perfect” sunset shot. The only place I’ve seen so overrun with tourists is Venice. I can tick Oia off my to do list, but wouldn’t do it again

.
The people that have spent thousands of Euros to stay at the apartments around there must be so frustrated. Some couldn’t get to their apartments easily or get luggage through because of all the people blocking the little walkways. Guests have to put up with all that traffic all day, 365 days of the year. With all that said, the views are amazing. I’ll post some pics later. Oh, I also left my phone at the supermarket. I went back 45mins and the lovely owners had found it
