Europe 2010 – Mykonos - Day 5


Ahhhh relaxing...

We got up, had breakfast, found a pool chair beside the pool then I repeated this process: read, swim, sleep, eat... read, swim, sleep, eat... It was great. This was my day from 8am - 6pm.

Then I went to the hotel room for a nap :)

At 8:30 we headed out for dinner. We went into Mykonos town but couldn't really see where we were going as the island had a blackout. We found a restaurant by the sea and had some traditional Greek starters i.e. tzitziki, tarama, Greek salad followed by souvlaki for the mains. The blackout finished and we wandered the town (during this I stopped for a nutella crepe - so good) then we found a bar and had a few cocktails. The people watching was excellent. There's a lot of men here (gay island, makes sense) and the ratio of men to women is easily 10:1.

We missed the last bus to get back to the hotel so we got a cab, as we were leaving the cab driver started screaming out the window to another cab driver who was screaming back - both had arms flying around too. We discreetly asked Nancy what was going on as it was a tad scary. But apparently, they were simply planning to join each other for coffee later. I have been married to a Greek for years but clearly still haven’t adapted to the drama and voice decibels/inflection that come with planning/discussing routine events.

John, Jo, Nancy and I are all getting browner each day. John, Jo and Nancy alternate between baking and swimming throughout the day. I stay under the shade and apply a thick layer of fake tan nightly before bed. Its working, I'm keeping up!
