In Athens for the night
Hey!
So we took the highspeed ferry from Santorini at 5 tonight back to Athens. It was so sad leaving, but I'm really excited for the next leg of our trip because WE ARE GOING TO ROME tomorrow!!! And it just so happens that our visit coincides with the beatification of Pope John Paul II, so it will be the perfect day to see the vatican!
I'm so excited to eat some pizza, pasta, and gelato! We have to make the most of it though, cause we are only in Rome for 6 hours. Our train back to Geneva is at 4, so we gotta make those hours count!
Ill update from the homeland
Ciao

Second day in Santorini
So its our second day on this beautiful island and the weather is a little bit better than yesterday, but not as warm as Croatia!
We went to dinner last night and ate some authentic Greek food and then some bars. This little island has everything! Its so cute and is like nowhere else I've ever been before
Today were going to go visit some beaches: they have a black, a white, and a red beach! And then a little village on the island where we were told has the most beautiful sunset in the world
Ill post more pictures later!

48 hour train ride
Hola!
So we are halfway done with our 48 hour trek from Dubrovnik Croatia to Santorini Greece. We took a bus back from Dubrovnik to Split, then a train from Split to Zagreb, another train from Zagreb to Belgrade, now were on the train to Thesaloniki, then we have another to Athens, and then finally a ferry to the island. But it will be totally worth it.
Dubrovnik was amazing as I'm sure you saw. We went to the beach, did some cliff jumping, did a pub crawl and got a killer tan. Also, the fresh fish was unbeatable.
I've read 4 books already on this journey, so were keeping ourselves busy!
Ill update from Greece
Much love
Stefania

Geneva is Beautiful
I've been getting to see more of Geneva than usual cause I'm officially in training for a half-marathon in 25 days...wish me luck! That means ridiculously long runs all around the city, but hey, at least I'm getting a tan
Xoxo
