The boat didn't get to Mykonos until midday so we all stayed out late the night before, the kids are enjoying their new friends on the kids clubs. We've met some great people on board and had a nice evening with some New Yorkers, Trish and Mitch. In port we couldn't dock so we had to wait for tenders to take 50-60 people at a time from the ship to shore. Thinking that this would take a long time we elected to wait an hour or so before going down to deck 5 and hitting the line. Our plan didn't work as it looks like every one else had the same idea and we ended up being late on shore after waiting 30 minutes in line anyway. Once ashore we had no idea how to get to the bus station, the pretty village is a maze of streets and nothing is signposted. We did some window shopping and then asked for directions to the bus station. We made it right on time as the next bus was leaving and 15 minutes later we were at Paradise Beach. 16 euros later and we had 3 sun lounges right at the waters edge under an umbrella. The water was full of different types of fish and we had some fun chasing them around wearing goggles. The waterproof video camera that Eric got for me was excellent and we have some nice footage. After heading back to town we turned e window shopping into real shopping and Abs picked up a nice Pandora-style bracelet and Cam a nice fishing boost model.
Then we got back onto a tender and after some chill time had both our girls join us for dinner while Cam went ti kids club. Today we have our second sea-day on our way to Naples and tonight is the last formal night, lobster for dinner! In Naples we have a tour booked down to the Amalfi Coast, we're half way through this adventure and loving everything.
Andy, out.
