En: The shining sun illuminated the white rooftops of Santorini, and the sea glittered like a sapphire under the dawn's rays. Uk: Оксана стояла біля входу до археологічного музею Фіри, уважно спостерігаючи за туристами, які сходили з автобусів. En: Oksana stood by the entrance of the archaeological museum in Fira, attentively watching tourists disembarking from buses.
