We arose from our borrowed bed right at 5am and even tho Jenn and I sharing the twin bed was a quite uncomfortable situation, it was still hard to get up. We walked to the metro to get there right as it opened and after Jill ran back to get her camera when we were half way there we still made it to the port of Pirerias. After a quick ride, we made it to the port and got a little scared when we couldn't find the group right away. But Jenn read the e-mail from busabout and found the spot where our group was waiting. We got onto the ferry and quickly nestled into the business class seats unsure if we would be kicked out or not due to our economy class tickets on the ungodly hot top deck. After couple hours of fitful napping, we decided to go to the deck and ran into our friends who lent us their semi-extra bed. Soon after, we arrived in Mykonos and joined our actual tour. We crammed into the bus to take us to Paradise beach, fitting as many people as possible plus a few more! After a bumpy and uncomfortable hill ride, we rolled up to the camping beach. Our accomodation was a bungalo that looked more like a chicken coup or a dog kennel, but it was clean and most importantly CHEAP! We made the rest of our delicious Greek salad and hit the beach. We spent a relaxing afternoon catching the Greek Isles' rays.
Our group met up at 5:00 to get our first real taste of Mykonos town. We took another crowded bus in and saw how beautiful and quaint the town was before dinner together at the Pelican restaurant. There were actually real massive pelicans there and we pet them!! One was pink!
Mykonos town was very beautiful because all the buildings in the town where painted white. It is actually the law to have the building part white and the roof and door one of the following colors; blue, green, yellow or brown each representing an Earth color.
