Hotel Argo 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.

It’s a little cool outside for a party island that is famous for its nude beaches and all-night dance clubs. This is the first time that I wished we were visiting Greece during the tourist season since the town almost feels empty and the beaches deserted.

This is ...

... 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 ...

... back in my room and he gave me a lift to one of the tourist office so i can hear the news myself. Nope no ferries going to Mykonos (or anywhere) today. Great. I gave him 20 euro for another night. I took the bus back to Lefkes to conquer that old road from yesterday. I walked along that terribly rocky road for 15 minutes or so until i saw a main road that looked much easier so I followed that along to the top of a hill with an ...

... or 1am. At the moment i am recovering from a big night - but the fact that we are going to be lying on beach chairs and ordering drinks from the bar staff that serve you at your beach chair - on the sand (that is more like pebbles rather than the gorgeous sand we are used to!)- for most of the day i'm not too stressed!!! Off to Naxos tomorrow for more beach!!! YAY.

... And enjoy it I have. I have been having the time of my life these last two weeks. I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything. Every sacrifice I made has been so worth it. It wasn't the easiest decision to just leave your job, put everything you own in storage,push pause on your everyday life, leave all your friends and family behind and travel alone 3000 miles away to a place you know nothing about. But it was a decision I'm glad I made. There has been so many of my friends and ...

So we left Santorini and headed to Paros (cough). By this time George and Alex were thoroughly sick of each other so Alex moved into our room and got to share the joys of room sharing with someone with a cough. It was hot, so we would turn on the air (cough cough cough cough) conditioning, but air conditioning irritates my cough, so we turn it off. But its hot, so we turn it back on. This continues all night. From all this coughing I lost my ...

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.
