Denise: When we were there the cable car was broken - we had no choice but to ride the donkeys to the top - awful but we did laugh alot - just as Olvia explains - once we got to Fira a public bus went by and we jumped on for something like 50 cents and went to Oia...magnificent - took bus back to Fira in late afternoon had lunch and walked around - easy on your own - there were cabs around but the bus was just so simple and great people watching - joanna I cannot rem the name of the restaurant we ate at but I think Olivia knows - hangs over water and was quite good -
