We had a pretty lazy day in Santorini, but this was our first legit lazy day. Why? We literally did nothing all day but sleep, watch TV, shop, and eat. (Well, I got a load of laundry done too...)
We were finally able to catch up on sleep today, and didn't wake up until 11:30am! (It was probably noon by the time we got out of bed). Then I put my laundry in the washer (whoo, clean clothes again!), and Steph and I proceeded to watch TV for a while. It wasn't until my laundry was done and it was around 3:30pm that we actually left the apartment.
We then rode the bus to Oxford Street to do some shopping. We stopped into Debenhams to look around, as well as some other British brands, and finally went to Primark. We had no idea going in what it would be like, as we just decided to go because we saw all these people carrying around Primark shopping bags. Turns out it's actually a huge budget retailer somewhere between a Forever21 and Walmart! (for clothes) The inside was huge, and SUPER crowded! But the clothes were super affordable compared to everything else we had looked at so far! But literally had to queue for the fitting rooms, and then again for checkout. >.< (Bought a cute dress though! And Steph another maxi skirt haha)
After shopping, we met up with Stephanie's aunt's family for dinner, at a Lebanese restaurant called Noura. They were dining with another family who was in town, so it was a pretty big group of us. It was my first time trying Lebanese food, and it was quite good! Started off with little flatbread rounds and lots of different dips and chutneys. Then the main course was a bunch of different types of meat from skewers. And dessert was baklava and ice cream! Mmmm.
Woops, literally took no cell phone pics today! This is probably a really boring post haha... Sorry! >.<
