Papadakis Hotel Paros

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—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.

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.

We felt like running to the edge and jumping overboard. Not like we don't like the movie. O.K.! We admit, we don't the like the movie! We were so grateful that we watched it for 'free' on satelite at our friend's Brenda-Lyn and ...

... still, but I got in just the same...only up to my knees. Sunday, we took a ferry back to the island of Paros and got settled in the same apartment we had before in the little fishing villiage of Ampelas. We went to the Taos Centre that evening for the orientation to our one week workshop called, "Walking Through Walls". There were 25 of us participating....many from Israel, about 4 from Norway, one from Germany, a couple from Spain and then Kris and I ...

Less daydreaming and onto Lefkes and to look at the cathedral and walk around the old town, after which we had lunch on the hill overlooking the town. Next on the scooter mystery tour was the little fishing village of Piso Livadi which was very picturesque but with not much in the way of sight seeing, then North to the beaches of Santa Maria where we spent a couple of ...

... was gorgeous. By this time we had access to a car at our lunch breaks so we could explore the island looking for private and secluded beaches to spend our time. The purchase of a bat a bat and ball game provided great entertainment as we struggled to reach our target of 100 hits without the ball hitting the sand. With 36 ending up as our record we were some way short of achieving our goal. We might have made it only Heather couldn't resist the urge to catch the ball in her hand instead ...

... it almost immediately. It defied all my logic to have a girl as amazing as her wanting to be with me. I was a little disappointed when the time came for us to leave and head back to the campsite. She was due at work in the mini-market at 6. As we collected our things from the beach I asked her if she would like to come out with us that night. She said she would love to join us but that she didn't get off until 12am. No matter I said, I will wait for you. That ...

I recovered from my wardrobe malfunction embarrassment and dialled the number at the pay phone by the beach. At first I couldn't recognise if I was hearing a ring tone or a busy signal. Then there was a message in a language I didn't understand. Maybe it was Greek Telecom telling me I had dialled the wrong code. I wasn't ...

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.
