Day 17 - I'm feeling hot, hot, hot

Volcano
Today we headed out on a 19 Euro boating excursion.  1st stop - volcano

Here is our boat - the Odysseas

Hot Spring
Our second stop was at a hot spring on one of the other islands.  The sea temps are around 75F, and the hot spring was around 90F.  There were lots of iron deposits, so the water was brown (rusty).  I'll have to get some pics from Nora.

Therasia
Our final stop was to the 2nd largest island of Therasia.  We just got some lunch on the water.  2.50 Euro Gyros... haha.  Here is the view.

Red Sand Beach
After the boat tour, we went back to the main island and rode our SUVs over to the red sand beach.  Here are some shots.
