Kosmoplaz Mykonos

... The guys stayed in the café as Shirley and I went to the office. We had a bit of a wait because another group was checking in. We could see John and Don from the balcony of the office. They were enjoying a beer. We called down and had them order some for us. Our wait was a bit long so they finished the beer and promised to order more when we were on our way down. While we waited on the balcony taking in ...

... are still many columns as well as some interesting mosaics. Even with what remains, there is enough to get a good idea of what the island would have been like in its heyday. The best know sculptures on the island are a row of lions.

We anchored within the Bay of Delos and returned in the afternoon for lunch aboard. After we finished exploring the island, we boarded the yacht and returned to Mykonos for the evening. We went to shore and found a ...

... 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.

... s cabin. But, before you send us hatemail, we would like to reinforce, we Love ABBA! We even Love Meryl Streep! We think she's one of the best actors in the movie business! We just think that Mama Mia was one of the goofiest movies ever made. It reminded us of one of those goofy half hour sitcoms where characters would periodically break out in song. Fortunately, the networks did the right thing and saved us all ...

... very big, and buses from other bays also arrive and depart from here, in addition to the continuous stream of small three wheeled trucks, motor cycles, quad bikes, and foot traffic, it looks like a recipe for disaster. Nevertheless, it seems to all run smoothly, until a tourist on their hired bike, makes a wrong turn, and everything grinds to a halt. Damn tourists! From the square, there are three streets leading down to the waterfront, and ...

... wake-up call. Of course, Erica and Megs slept soundly on the plane while I read about Ancient Greek history. I've developed a pretty bad sleeping pattern over here and it's not jet lag related. I just can't seem to get more than 4 hours of sleep at a time. (Until last night. Triumph! I did wake up after 4 hours, but since, for once, we didn't have to wake up at dawn for a flight or to beat the museum crowds, I was able to go back ...

... the wall and make yourself as small as possible and pray you don´t get hit. Especially scary at night!! I spent the afternoon in Mykonos town, wadering around the maze of little streets of shops, restaruants, bars, cafes, etc.. i saw the famous pelicans that i had scene on the travel channel! The just walk all over town, aren´t afraid of people at all. i wanted to pet one but was afraid to, those beaks looked big and strong enough to at ...

... make it through passport control and customs. They were quite tired from the back-to-back flights, so we just plopped down in a café in the airport for a couple hours and talked, catching up on their travels and my recent ones in Rome (while I was out taking in the city, they were sitting on planes). Luckily, their flights went relatively smoothly (slight delay out of Portland, but they and their bags made the connection just fine in Newark ...

Decided this morning to try a waffle which can be found at a station at the Aft Deck 11. The waffles were freshly made with an assortment of fruit toppings, syrup and whipped cream available. After a hearty breakfast we made our way to the tender that ferried us from the ship to Mykonos port. There we joined the ship-sponsored group tour of ...

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.
