Frangiskos Inn Parikia

Delos is an incredibly interesting place. The entire island is a collection of ruins where no one is allowed to stay on the island overnight so everyone who visits are day trippers&#8212;most of whom are staying in Mykonos. It was an excellent day for exploring ruins at just over 60F degrees it was cool and pleasant. There is a lot to explore on the island so be sure to leave enough time to see it all.<br><br>There are no complete building standing, but ...

... beautiful place with the village full of white-washed buildings scattered around a maze of little streets and alley ways. Just at it seemed that Santorini was made for couples, Mykonos was make for singles and the party life. This is one place that I want to return to again. <br>

I love the fact that I'm sick. Not in an, "Oh, what fun to be sick!" way, but in an, "Expectations will get you every time!" way. I am still really, really enjoying the cruise. But I think the theme of the trip is undoubtedly learning to embrace whatever comes your way even when it's not exactly what you thought it was going to be. I assumed I would be spending the entire cruise sunbathing, getting a deep, dark, golden tan and boozing like a sailor. Instead I've been ...

this trip was very special to me,because it was the first one after I finally finished with school and had the freedom to do everything I want,without anybody else controlling me!the only thing I wanted to do is find a nice place with great people to relax and so I did.i met many interesting people and it was a journey to remember!

So you would think on the last day we would be off going crazy but its a little cloudy today so we just had a little walk to the harbour and had some coffee and cake and then went and got some pasta sauce to go with the left over spaghetti that we had and had a lovely lunch in then just sat and read our books caught up with washing underwear and repacking and washing backpack then got ready and had to drag myself out for ...

Took the hydroplane from Santorini to Mykonos. Stayed right on the beach and the cruise ships docked right down the beach. Island topography not as dramatic as Santorini but very nice. Surprised how dry and little vegetation on both islands. Got my whole body in the Mediterranean not just my feet (no pictures of that !!)

... to a bar for one drink and laughed over the 80's and 90's songs made into dance remixes- "I'm too Sexy" hahaha when was the last time you heard that??? Good stuff. We got to bed around 3 and was up and out by 10. I said goodbye to Ellen and thanked her for her hospitality, she really made my stay here much much better than it would have been on my own. I got on the bus back to Parikia and wasn't too happy to hear there was no ferry going to Mykonos. I double checked ...

... the off season he is a professional soccer player..pretty amazing really. Costas recommended that we visit Santa Maria beach today...so, of course we did. It was lovely. Troy took a great picture of Costas and his dog windsurfing...can't wait to show. This guy has trained his dog to windsurf. Lots of wild dog and cats everywhere but they are well taken care of. We are in the town of Parikia right now...beautiful town near the port. Lots of ...

... up the 250 odd steps. Ahh...but the donkey's awaited me....and it became one of the scariest rides of my life...trying to balance on a donkey being coaxed up a steep cliff with low railing and my backpack on my back...then finishing the ride with still MORE steps to walk up! I was exhausted!! (after already doing a trip up and down a cliff at another island at lunchtime!). Found a relatively cheap hostel considering it's where the rich and famous ...

... I don't think that Leah actually knew how to drive it...but she said she did....and we crashed. Yikes. No one was hurt, and we didn't cause too much damage, but she was pretty upset...I think mostly because it could have been much worse. Regardless, early night tonight, and tomorrow off to Paros, and then back to Athens.
