Damn Greece is sweet! You know how they have those pictures of those white houses with blue doors, thats pretty much what its like here. The water is this awesomely clear blue, it is one of the nicest beaches I have ever been to. There are cars and stuff on the island, but everyone either gets around on their scooters or takes a bus.
Our ferry stopped on several islands before we got to Mykonos. All of the islands seemed not to be very populated. The air is fairly dry and it doesn't look like they get much rain (at least during the summer). I have also only seen a couple clouds one day.
We have basically been lying on the beach and been chilling out, its pretty damn relaxing doing absolutely nothing and working on a tan. People here still think I am Spanish or Australian.
We went to this island called Delos which is a 30min boat ride from Mykonos. It was at one time one of the most important port cities in the Roman/Greek world. Its this island that is full of ruins that you walk around. Most of the ruins have been fairly destroyed over the years from weather and environmental conditions. The museum is sweet, I am basically looking at stuff that is so old its even hard to realize how old it is (several centuries of BC old, thats really damn old).
Other than that we have been walking around the side streets, eating awesome gyros or seafood and chilling in the sun. We are about to take a ferry off to Santorini, should be pretty dope.
