High Mill Hotel Parikia

... close to the marina that has music coming from it. I ate a lamb dish for dinner and since the Greeks eat dinner very late in the day and will frequently make an evening of it, it wasn't until close to 11 PM that we left the taverna.

I went back to the yacht to dress in my club clothes and to go to one of the few dance clubs that remained open over the winter. Although it wasn’t packed, the club was still a lot of fun and we had a great time.

... 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.

... orange juice, taking exercise classes, bundling up between museums and spending a small fortune on face creams, treatments and make up. But, as I said, I have absolutely loved this experience. So, no complaints.

Today we are in Mykonos. And it finally looks like the movies. Not to insinuate Corfu and Athens weren't beautiful -- they just weren't the bleached white houses hanging from rocky cliffs. Mykonos is quite exactly that. I haven't gone into town yet ...

One of the most recognized landmarks on Mykonos has been their windmills. These mills were once used to refine grain and compact it for transport. A fairly strong wind year round made this a great location.

The intinerary had the Ruby departing Mykonos at 2pm so we made our way back to the tender at the marina in plenty of time to catch a lunch on board. After lunch, we chose to relax around the ...

... start writing them all down. Another one was when we were trying to teach him the meaning of the word "snooze" and he later tried to use it , saying " I am very snoozy" lol Ellen and I were in hysterics the whole night! She borrowed a friends car and we went to the next town over to have some dinner, we ordered about 10 different little dishes and shared so I got to try some more Greek dishes. The next day she went to work and I got on the bus to visit some more of ...

... like to be doing something, but forced myself to take at least half a day off. So that was ok. Today was much better. Took a trip out to the volcano for a bit of a clamber round. Isnt active ofcourse (otherwise i would be a wee bit dead), but there were plenty of Sulpher vents around the crater. So i have now seen 2 volcanos, and am planning on seeing at least one more before i get back! Other then that i took a bit of a ...

... my eyes watered up. So what's my plan now? I don't have one. My dad is shipping me my laptop and I'm going to burn photo CDs for tourists and update peoples ipods for €5 or so. I'm sure I can easily make €50 a day. If so then I will stay a few weeks and save up a little money. I'm going to attempt to write a book with my free time. Why not right? Its something that I would never do back home, so I'm going to take that risk. I can't lie out on the beach and drink beer ...

I am burnt. Opps. I did put sunscreen on but the sun was so strong yesterday. So we went for our seafood dinner and in the middle I started itching. So a few people suggested that I apply yogurt. What a novel idea! People outside of north america haven^t heard of Noxema. I told my Aussie friends that I would send them a tub of this miracle cream. Anyway, so I slathered myself in yogurt, head to toe and tried to go to sleep. It was fine until I woke at 3:30am ...

How on Earth did I get to be so lucky?

My family and I went on a cruise of the Greek Islands. We ate a lot, got sea sick once, soaked up the sun, and absorbed the classically beautiful white and blue colours on the islands. There weren't very much ship activities that my sister and I were interested in but Allyson and I did win a bingo game! Mykonos was by far our favorite island because of its beauty.
