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

[MeganGC1983]

And here we are, still in Mykonos. 

[MeganGC1983]

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

The line of people to board the ferry.

Those sunset pictures over Mikonos last night are like out of a movie!!  This whole cruise is so different than the typical Caribbean cruises....in a good way.  How does your husband like the international travel life so far?

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.

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.

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.

“Popsicle stand” as DH calls it.

The other pool is human stew as well.

5 minutes after back onboard time. We are at the Dock House and there are still gangways out.

It was about an hour and half cooking demo. Kind of long. But very informative. Nothing is grown or produced on Mykonos. Everything is imported from Athens. Then we finally got to eat.  Amazing food. Stuff I wouldn’t even normally eat. So good and she gave the recipes for everything. That spinach pie… we will definitely have again. 

Aloha.  We loved Greek food and have it at least once a month when we are in NY as in Hawaii it is not the same.  Then again in NY we cannot get Poke lol. The spinach pie is always a starter for us.  It is all about the spices. Glad you enjoyed.

So amazing.

15 minutes late, the last old town shuttle pulls up. Lots of runners.  And some running from the sea bus water taxi. 

[MeganGC1983]

And the gangway is still out. 

[MeganGC1983]

Then, there she was. 28 minutes late. Running, crowd cheering. Our first Virgin Voyages pier runner. 

[MeganGC1983]

And we are sailing

Goodbye Mykonos. It was fantastic. Spoke to some of our group that went to Paradise Beach club. They said it was a very young crowd, expensive and not worth the $35 each way cab ride. Said several times, young people were just using the bathroom on the dance floor. Glad we skipped that.

Did some work and noticed the Sun club was open. I’m not hungry though.
