IMG_8862 - Donkey ride. You may ride on a donkey from the Pier to Fira or the other way around at Euro 5, which is almost the same as taking cable car. But i chose to walk up & took the cable car down.

IMG_8876 - A donkey ride to the top. While it was the same price as the cable car ride, the donkey was much slower (and more stubborn!). But it should be a good experience.

IMG_8923 - I heard the bells of another train of donkey rushing down to the pier in order to catch the morning business from cruise passengers
