ATHENS, Greece – Day five of the Toledo women's basketball team's Greek trip was spent on the waters around Santorini and in its capital city, Fira.

Following breakfast at the hotel, the travel party split into three groups to set sail on the Aegean Sea. Two groups boarded catamarans and another boarded a caldera for a day of swimming and relaxation on the water. The boats sailed around the island of Santorini, allowing everyone to take in the breathtaking scenery.

"Today was a lot of fun," Bella Swedlund said. "We were able to get out on the boat and enjoy ourselves and get to know everyone a little better. We had a really good time, and have made some memories that will last forever."

After returning to the hotel and getting some time to relax, the Rockets boarded busses again to head to Fira for the second straight night. Travelers were free to grab dinner, shop, and explore while enjoying a gorgeous sunset as a backdrop to another terrific day in Greece.

"We had another great day," assistant coach Ari Wideman said. "We took a catamaran around Santorini and got to snorkel and enjoy each other's company. It was nice to come back to Fira and do some shopping and get a good meal, and we got to see a beautiful sunset. It was a great day."

Saturday will feature a variety of activities for the Rockets and their travel party. Some of the group will take part in an excursion to the Akrotiri Archeological site, and later in the afternoon some of the adult members of the travel party will head to Santorini Winery Karamolegos for a wine tasting. The group will then head to Oia for dinner at night.
