Today I fly back from Mykonos to Athens, where I will spend the night. From there I fly to Egypt. My flight out of Mykonos is not until 7:30 tonight, so I've still got a full day here. Guess where I'm going, back to the beach!
I pretty much spent the whole day there, and will need another book soon. I've almost finished the one I'm reading. Just for your information, I'm reading the Da Vinci Code. I've seen the movie, but I've been told the book is better. I agree, the book is better and since I've have been to London and Paris, I am able to follow the story when they move through the streets. It's quite cool that I can picture their movements because I am reasonably familiar with street names and how to get there.
At 6:30pm I'm picked up from the hotel, and taken to Mykonos Airport. The plane leaves on time, and forty minutes later it arrives at Athens. I was going to catch a cab back to my hotel, until I bumped into a Kiwi couple that was catching a bus into town and then cabbing from there to their hotel. The bus was 3.20 euros so quite cheap, and in the end it saved me about 25 euros.
That's it. That was my day. Did I mention the six bottles of beer I drank at the beach, plus two bottles of Smirnoff ice I had at the airport. I was a little tipsy when I got to my hotel. I slept like a baby.
