And she did. Except for a few strong currents on our way to the next island, Poros, the 10 hour cruise was fine. We had a great time crossing the clear, blue waters, enthralled by the islands we passed along the way.
That was my third ferry ride since we arrived in Greece. The first was a vacation in the island of Crete. Then we had a 2night/3 day vacation in Santorini.Before we embarked on our trip to Crete, I was hesitant to join my friends. It had been years since my last boat ride and I feared what might happen. It was the fourth week of April and my birthday was approaching. As superstitions go, one should not travel either by air or by land to distant places immediately before or after one's birthday.But my friend convinced me to join them.
And so I joined them. I prayed for Mama Mary's guidance. The moment i stepped into the boat, I felt that the Lord was with us, and Mama Mary too.Our ship cruised along peacefully all throughtout the 6 hour ride.
My experience in Santorini was awesome! I was able to drive in a rented car. When we rented the car, all the available cars were of manual transmission. I had no choice. I worried about the zigzag roads and the steep hills of Santorini. Though I have been driving since my college years, these were always automatic equipped vechicles. Then, at around 4pm before the car was to be brought to our hotel, the manager called that he found a car with automatic transmission! Thank God!My prayer had been answered. So I drove around the island with ease .....
