Pearls of the Aegean

Because the cruise ships have to dock on bouys in the Harbour, a Tender service is provided to take the passengers over to the shore. Like the day before, Pin and I had decided to do separate excursions today. She got on one tender to get on a coach and go and visit the wineries and Oia Village, while I was going to get on another boat and go over and visit the volcanic landmass of Nea Kameni.

To get to the Tenders, we had to go down through the bowls of the ship through the crew quarters and finally out the side door of the boat down at the water level. As we left the ship, I took some pictures of the Emerald as we passed it.

Finally we approached the port of Fira.
