Another
lazy day...
We slept
in until 10:30 (may have something to do with the 4:00am bedtime) then fogged
our way down to breakfast.
After
breakfast we did our 'warm up' relaxation and spent an hour by the pool before
heading down to the beach area and catching a boat to one of Mykonos's most
famous beaches, Paradise Beach. We got ourselves a beach bed each with
umbrellas and settled in for some serious relaxing, the occasional swim, the
occasional read and snacking. Surprisingly no naps for me today (may have
something to do with the dozen naps I had yesterday!). Nancy and I also played
a few games of Backgammon - Nancy won all 6 games.
Paradise
Beach is a bit of a party beach with music pumping and bars lining the beach.
Around 5pm the music was turned up, the bikini clad tabletop dancing girls hit
the tabletops and the party kicked off complete with the 'Elephant Man'. This
is a man who is paid to also dance on the table and encourages the crowd to
dance and get up on the tabletops. He's called the Elephant man due to his
"uniform" which is a red g-string with an elephants face at the
front. His doodle is tucked into the long truck and its silhouette can be seen
especially as he swings that trunk alternating between clockwise and anti
clockwise. It was hideous.
We left
the beach around 6pm to get the bus back to Mykonos town. Waiting for the bus
Nancy and Jo identified two guys from a reality show. This is all news to me
but there are men termed 'Guidos' who are known for over grooming in a tacky
way and this reality show follows them around to catch their egocentric lives
on film. The show is called 'Jersey Shaw'. I'm still in a bit of a grey area
about the show but these super botox-ed, bright white capped teeth, superman
looking guys were something else. On the bus they were announcing they don't
work rather they 'maintain', they think Greek women aren't very good looking
and can't comprehend why they're so stand-off-ish when they don't have money
etc. Clearly, these guys liked attention and their method off getting it was to
provoke responses to their controversial comments. All very weird.
We had an
early (8pm) dinner in Mykonos town as the plan was to have a 3 hour nap then go
out as Boy George is DJing here but guess who went to sleep, never woke up and
missed the whole thing?! Me :( Damn Me!!!!!!
