The other pool is human stew as well.

“Popsicle stand” as DH calls it.

They will definitely have to add the the flag to the Galley here. Some times 10-15 minutes goes by without anyone checking for your order. Other times, 5 people come by in 2 minutes. It’s inconsistent. I love The Galley concept… the flags make it work better.

He’s enjoyed everything. The time difference has definitely made things more complicated. He much prefers the Sandy beaches of our islands to the rocky beaches here. But the water is so clear here and there’s so many new things to see, that he’s good with it. Definitely something he didn’t think he’d want to do, but he’s glad he came. Postcard scenes at every turn.

I’ve located a lounger on deck 16. We all know I won’t get in the human stew and I hate fighting for a chair around the pool. It’s much more relaxing up here, and I can look out at the mean streets of Mykonos.

The line of people to board the ferry.

Grabbing some things in the cabin and heard a horn. This huge ferry was pulling in and really close.

And here we are, still in Mykonos.

All in all, a fabulous day. It’s an expensive place, but you have to enjoy life sometimes.

After eating, it was really starting to get wild in the streets. The club scene was firing up. Drag queens, saxophone players, long lines, barefoot girls carrying their heels to wear out but not on cobblestone. We decided 1am was good, so we headed back on a shuttle Virgin Voyages provides to the ship.

Started to get hungry. Most bar restaurants only had small bite menus but we found a gyro spot. This was chicken and fantastic. Apparently I like real taziki, not the US version. 😆

Continuing on with Mykonos, we stopped at a few random rooftop bars and restaurants. The “pornstar martini” was everywhere. And it slowly started to get later. And sunset happened. Listening to yacht rock and and watching the sun go down was surreal. The sky was like a painting.

However now… it’s sunrise and I’m gonna catch a few hours of sleep. Mykonos is amazing.

We wandered along and totally understood how there’s 800 churches on the island. They are everywhere. Stopping occasionally for beers/ cocktails. This was a “pornstar martini”. It’s on every menu… vanilla vodka and lychee with passion fruit juice. About this time, my phone died and the ship also moved from tender to dock. We stayed 5 more hours on shore including sunset. I’ll add those pictures in a few.

We were thirty so we had to get walking “beers”. And stopped to see some pizzas in a window. Every shop was more interesting and everyone was very welcoming. We had to see the windmills.

More of old town… also know as little Venice.

Where the bus dropped us off… I can’t even explain the beauty. Our cooking instructor told us that everyone has to have White House’s, you have to touch up once a month and businesses paint the streets but only between the hours of 7am and 8:30am.

Then it was time to leave. An excursion well worth it. Definitely. However Mario and his bus were gone and some of our fellow bus mates left their stuff on that bus… including passports. Bad deal. We got back to the ship area and Virgin had buses to Old Town… let’s go!!
