Blogs from Mykonos, South Aegean, Greece, Europe - page 19

Hello all from the people in the shitty camping.... Well it is the big man for tonight doing the blog and so here I go. As Robyn was saying yesterday, our campground is defently not what we were expecting. In fact it is a pice of crap and we really don't want to be there at all........ The cabins are hot, with out the wind blowing through them at all, and dirty. Last night we decided to to the time honored solution to the problem and get drunk off cheap wine, out of tetra packs no less. It worked wonderfuly well and by the time we had finished off the wine it was about 3 in the morning..... gee, time seems to fly when drinking cheap wine =) So we ended up sleeping till about noon ... read more

Ladies and gentlemen, the wine here is so good. I'm in love. I am especially fond of the house white wines, I havn't had a bad one yet! My new favourite meal is a big Gyro pita with lots of tzatiki (sp) sauce and a half litre of wine. Ohhhh it makes me all happy inside and out. Its crazy cause a glass of the house white is normally like 1-2 euros, but you can get a half litre of the house white for like 3-5 euros... So that begs the question stated in my title. Why have one glass when you could have 3, be so happy, and have such a better value?! Ohh I love Greek logic! So today we are in Mykonos. We were supposed to be here yesterday, but the winds here ... read more

6/10-6/16 We arrived on the Greek island of Samos by ferry from Turkey and it may as well have been a different planet. Coming from a land where girls must cover up from head to toe to a land that encourages nude beaches, it is quite the culture shock. We had just one day in Samos, explored a nearby beach and the quiet downtown area. It seemed to be sufficient time there. We took a ferry to Mykonos later that evening which was supposed to be overnight and arrive around 6am. However we were woken from our restful slumber around 3:30 and told we must hurry and get off the boat otherwise we would miss our stop. After a full panic and race through the giant ferry and out the docking bay, we soon found ourselves ... read more

Hello! Melissa here again just thought we would update you on our Mykonos adventures! Our ferry arrived and we checked into the beautiful Petinos hotel on Petinos beach and grabbed our suits and headed for the sand! Swimming for some, reading for others, mostly enjoying the view and getting a tan through our spf 30 to 45 sunscreen! After the sunset we headed into Mykonos town to some local dance clubs and taverns. The nightlife here doesn't really start until midnight but we enjoyed the quit time as Monday was a Greek holiday so many of the locals took a 4 day weekend in Mykonos. We met lots of new friends all over the world and danced the night away. Monday morning we got on a cute little boat and headed to Paradise Beach where turns ... read more

Jared and I have been just chilling here in Mykonos and it has been very nice. Very relaxing. We got here late monday night. We spent the first day getting settled in and just exploring the town. Mykonos has a lot of tourist but is still a lot of fun. It is so beautiful it is no wonder a lot of tourist come here. Today we rented a little moter bike and explored the rest of the island. We found some amazing beaches with only a few other people there. It was like having a little bit of your ... read more
