Mykonos...an island favorite of Jackie Kennedy Onassis

Waking up to this gorgeous island was a treat!  All the homes are white in a beautiful cubist Cycladic architecture!  They say that they make the roofs flat and rounded at the corners because of the amount of rain they receive every year. Whatever the reason...it makes for a treat for the eyes!

No wonder the stars and the rich and famous want to vacation here. It is such a quaint and beautiful town. The people were very friendly but maybe not quite as friendly as we found in Atthens. It could be that we just didn't have enough money in our pockets!  Boy are their some high end shops here!  So fun to look and wonder who is really buying this stuff!

Aside from all that, Mykonos had some amazing views. It's slightly raised but not as much as we saw on the Amalfi coast. They have windmills at the top that are so neat.   They aren't used today, but we're the main source of revenue at one time.   As soon as I figure the picture problem out, I will post some of the windmills.

Audrey had a great time again. We met yet another couple from Australia ( These people vacation a month or two at a time!  I'm not sure if they have anyone else left in Australia that is still working!) and ate a nice lunch with them. This Aussie ate calamari and Mykonos calamari is not the little fried rings that we eat...they bring the whole darn thing!  Visually it wasn't that quite appetizing looking. Lol!

Forgot to mention all the neat stuff going on on the ship. I think Audrey's favorite part is the casino on board!  She is never too tired to go a 'round' with the slots!  They constantly have live performers in the midship lobby area: everything from singing to acrobatics.  I am enjoying the workout room on the front of the ship. I try to hit the treadmill just after we get back on the ship. I'm usually there until we just get ready to sail off.

Well, another day in the Greek Isles. Tomorrow we explore Katakolon. Can't wait.
