We woke up in Naxos, had a quick breakfast before getting on another ferry to Santorini. This time we took World Champion Seajets. Unlike our earlier ferry this one was huge, could carry cars and was filled to the brim. It was also a little fancier than our last ferry and the hour and fifteen minutes simply slipped away. But we were not in the least bit prepared for what happened when we disembarked.  It was a zoo!
