Mykonos Day 2

Mykonos Day 2

Wow! I guess we found it, the party island. All the talk in Athens, Santorini, and from friends has turned out to be true. This place is full of college aged people looking to throw down on the party scene. The acomodations said "camping bungalows" and that was an understatement. The rooms were concrete walls with no ventilation and full of mosquiitoes. Yay. We hung out at the pool for a bit, which was nice and then ate some dinner. Swimming during the day was relaxing in the sea with many rocks to climb on and jump off. The water is quite clear and the breeze brings a nice touch. The crowd was up till 2 am with pounding bass and techno music that must be popular here. But right at 2 it turned off and people went home. But then the partiers were making their way back to their "bungalows" with wonderful shouting coming out of them. With no AC and not fan the late night was a little uncomfortable. Nothing like White Sands, NM camping in the middle of the summer with wind and sand, but still rough compared to the nice place on Santorini. That place was sweet.

Now, we have procured tickets to Samos. Little pricey, but will get us that last leg of the trip to Turkey. As I write this, I am bumming free Internet from a shop across the way. We have to kill time here for the 2 am ride. No problems, but just gotta keep the euro spending to a minimum and still get food and drink. This area of Mykonos was built with crazy winding streets to confuse pirates coming on land to reap havoc. Well, it worked for that, and surely keeps us wondering which way to head. The streets are narrow and with the breeze, white walls, intricate paving, make it a cool place to hang. Not sure if we will. Stay at the Paraga Beach Hostel again, but Mykonos is a beautiful island away from the cruise ship docks. That is just madness!

The sea is a bit hoppy with white cap waves and hopefully it will not hinder the ferry ride this morning...at 2 am. Check the Facebook page for the few pics I am posting thus far.

Smell you later!
