Saturday in Mykonos

Well day 1 Mykonos began with breakfast in the hotel, was very good. Had breakfast inside, then coffee on the patio. After that it was time to decide how we were going to get around the area so we walked across the street and got a scooter. It is a fun way to run around.

Was a little cool this morning, but after we went to a couple of beaches we went downtown Mykonos to stroll the streets and shop. Actually it started to get a little warm, but we just kept walking and looking.

We ran right into the middle of a Greek wedding in the little church by the harbor, then checked out trips to Delos…an uninhabited island with only ruins remaining. Thought it might be educational.

Then as we continued we saw what I guess is the pet pelican and of course had to stop for pictures of that as well.

Then we went to a restaurant we had looked at earlier and had Souflaki and Lamb kebob. Was very good, but did start to rain while we were there. We were on the patio, but it was covered. It started to get really cool again…in fact after we got back to the hotel the Greek TV stations were talking about what they were calling the Greek Winter because it has remained so cool so late.

Well full and tired, we headed back to the hotel for a little rest before heading out later tonight.

It rained a little more this afternoon, so decided to go out on foot rather than the scooter. Headed down to the market area and up and down the narrow streets again. We accidently found this Italian restaurant Dr. Brownlee had told me about, where the guys are making pasta in front of the restaurant. We walked up just as someone was leaving so got a table right away. Ordered fresh handmade ravioli and wine…was a great dinner. After dinner we walked around a bit more then had gelato for a nitecap…um-um good!!!

We headed back to the hotel after realizing we had walked to where we just HAD to have a scooter to get to earlier, but it was a long walk back….all uphill!!! Oh well, had a great time and came back and watched the European Cup before going to sleep for the night.


Oh yeah, and ONE “recorded” Smart Car sighting today!!!
