Getting there was kind of interesting. We must have just missed the bus because we sat there outside of our hostel at the bus stop for about an hour. But we got there! When we got there, we lounged on the beach for a bit and put our feet in the water. It was absolutely freezing. Soon I finally went in for a swim and it was the most breathtaking thing. Like, it was so cold it took my breath away. Haha
But for real, I am so glad I decided to swim. I would've regretted not doing it.
I got out and made Ann want to go in too so I swam in the Aegean Sea again!
We swam longer than we should've and missed the hourly bus back into town. I was not disappointed at all because that meant we could have lunch on the beach! Ann and I split a Greek salad and pasta with pesto.
The Greek salad only had tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and feta cheese. No lettuce. Ann doesn't like tomatoes very much so I had those and she had the cucumbers and we split everything else.
After lunch we actually caught the bus and went back to the hostel to freshen up to go into town. On our way, one of the owners of the hostel picked us up and drove is the rest of the way. How sweet of him!
We walked and wondered the streets, took pictures by the windmills, and found a bar that was supposed to have a World Cup game on.. It did, but it was on mute and the bar played really horrible arrangement of pop songs. The view was beautiful, looking over the ocean and Little Venice. The drinks were good too.
We left and started wondering a bit before dinner. There was a musician playing a stringed instrument that played songs that you hear in all the movies. It was great!
We found dinner at this restaurant that was right by the ocean where we could see the sunset. Ann and I split fried calamari and seafood spaghetti. I'm glad I eat and like seafood because I had a lot at this point and would continue to have copious amounts of it later on.
Later we went through the shops, eventually, finally, found a bar that wasn't just a club, and shared a Mythos beer and a mixed drink. The music there was good. That DJ should help some of the other DJs do a better job at picking out music. That inspired us to go dancing so we found a club, danced for a bit, and went on a long journey to find the bus. We found a gelato place that had the World Cup game and free wifi. When we bought our bus tickets, the next bus was not for another 40 minutes, so went back to the gelato shop until it was time to get on the bus.
That bus was crowded like you wouldn't believe! Full of drunk Australians. So there's that. I told the bus driver where we needed to get off. He forgot. We went all the way to the beach and had to ride the same bus back to the hostel. It was not a fun experience especially for how tired we were. But we got home eventually and went to bed.
The next morning we got up, packed, had breakfast, and was driven to the airport by Frozzo (co-owner) and she gave us little souvenir magnets that said Hotel Milena 2014 on it!
We loved these people. We wanted to take them with us. But alas, it was time to go to Italy!
By the way, Mykonos airport is very small and security was very chill- didn't have to take off my shoes, Ann made the sensor go off but they told her to go anyway. Easy enough! Had to take a shuttle bus to the plane itself and then it was smooth flying from there.
