Europe 2010 – Mykonos - Day 12


Nancy has repeatedly explained how our days are meant to go:
- Wake up at 2:00pm
- Coffee and beach until 7:00pm
- Lunch at 7:00pm
- Sleep from 8:00pm to about 1:00am
- Dinner at 1:00am
- Head out at 2:00am
- Home around 8:00am
- Sleep 8:00am - 2:00pm

We aren't exactly achieving the above but we're trying. I'm excelling in the sleeping in part. However when everyone is hitting the afternoon/evening nap part I seem to be springing to life and not sleeping. I would make a terrible Greek.

Nonetheless, today we woke up late (check), we did beach until 4:30pm (check) we had lunch at 5:00pm (check), everyone but me slept from 8:00pm to about 1:00am (nearly finished my book!), we headed out at 2:00am, we got home at 8:00am. We are meeting the Greek criteria!

The 'disco' we went to last night was interesting. People don't dance they stand around staring at each other. It’s slightly odd.

I attempted to get a round of drinks but soon found out the bartenders hate locals. I won't get started but to summarise the bar tender told me 'not too long' then served all these other people then said 'not too long' then served more other people and this continued for 40mins. He clearly thought this was a very fun game, for him. Then the experience was replicated at the creperie. Needless to say, Nancy and her cousins are responsible for all ordering from this point forth.

The whole 2 sleep shifts per day/out from 2am to is not something I could make my lifestyle but it was a novelty to give it a go.

Early night tonight! Leaving the next day.

P.S you can't flush toilet paper here however I'm not as traumatised as when I first came to Greece. I've adjusted.
