Out in Mykonos Town

Thursday, May 15, 2014
Mykonos, Cyclades, Greece
Well first full day up for breakfast. We are the only guests but despite this there is an excellent spread laid on including, cereals, eggs scrambled and fried, yogurts fruit etc.

After breafast Mareietta gives us a lift into town and we catch a bus to Ano Mera a village in the centre of the island . Quite a few tavernas and cafes around but, we don`t stay and decide to walk down to Elia`s beach, which takes about 45 mins plus stops for pictures of the flowers. The bus is due as soon as we get there but it seems a sandy bay with loads of sunbeds on.

The bus arrives and back into town with more photos of the views. Find a new bakery by the old port and Jean snares her first cheese pie. They have some nice butties in the window and as you do Jean nuts the window in trying to bite one!

We have a stroll through town and whilst walking around the bay some chancer pulls up and wants to charge us 5 e to give us a lift. On yer bike pal. A few minutes later Jean takes a tumble I say she dived but later camera shots do show definite contact when I tripped her so, it should have been a pen and a red card! She has hurt her knee but thankfully nothing broken. 

Back at the rooms the girls treat her knee and some good comes of it as Mum gives us a bottle of wine . Jean could be in shock so it`s best that she dosn`t have any alcohol. We sit on our balcony and miss what would have been a great shot as Super Jet and Flying Cat 4 pass each other.

Nicoletta is good enough to give us a lift into town. Now Mykonos is rather pricey but, after a stroll around we come across a small modest establishment ie cheap and basic, called Shila. I may have got the name wrong but you can look it up on TA. Had a Greek Salad and both had pastitsio which was fine. Washed down with a Mythos and the celebrated wine of the house. All of this for 28e, not bad going for the centre of town!

We get the 8-30 bus having had a chat with a couple of Aussies who we had met on the bus in the morning.

After a long hard partying night we are in bed for 10-15.
