We still had a long way to go yet – past that church with the blue dome at the top of the hill.

On the way, we passed a few other churches. There was certainly an abundance of them on this part of the island.

At least because of tourism, much of the old architecture has been preserved, like this old windmill.

There was of course some more jaw-dropping views of the caldera.

And after two hours of walking, we finally reached the end of the road. What a view it was.

I would have loved to stay here for a week, but much of the accommodation at the end of the road was still closed.

And now for the journey back down. With views like this, it wasn’t much of a hardship.
