Santorini and Donkey Poop

Sing to the tune of spiderman theme song.

Donkey Poop
Donkey Poop
I fell into Donkey Poop
What a stench
What a ride
Climbing down from way up high
Look out!
There's so much donkey poop here
Landmines of donkey poop there
I fell on Donkey Poop!!!

As mentioned before Santorini is simply amazing. In my quest to conquer as many modes of transportation as possible I decided to get on a donkey to get down the long long cliff to the bottom of the island and my boat. I have now been on airplanes, overnight trains and buses, a hot air balloon, a cruise ship, a sail boat, a hydrofoil, a tube sled, a funicular and a cable car. I thought a donkey would just top it off. As I am a city girl I got on the donkey and my leg wouldn't stop shaking. I nervously laughed the entire ride down and cringed as my leg would brush up the tail/behind of the donkey before me. Until I got to the end and tried to get off the donkey I was safe. Then I grabbed onto the wrong thing (a donkey's ass) and fell onto the ground and into donkey poop trying to get off the animal. Let me just say those pants are now in the trash and I scrubbed the living daylights out of my skin after the ride. You mentally kind of think that you still smell after a trip like that. My cabin-mates with whom I shared a room on the cruise with were playing the "who had the worst day" game when I won with my donkey poop story. I also won the "most annoying and catchy song" game with above tune.

P.S. Never trust a donkey's ass. (Yes, I know that should be obvious but it seemed like a good idea at the time. )


The long climb down. It was really steep and there were tons of people trying to get down on foot to avoid missing their boats.
I couldn't fit the donkey in. At this point I had climbed a volcano and dived into murkey rust colored water so hygiene and looks were sort of out of the window.

What the ride looked like going down.
Another view of the path.



At the beginning when I thought it would be a good idea to get on. Like many other things on this trip... I am glad I did it. I don't plan on doing it again.
