Mykonos - We're on our last day!!

Well, we're on the last day of our holiday! We spent a couple of nights in Mykonos Town at the Rochari Hotel. It was a really really nice hotel, but the town itself was bit over the top. It's totally a party town and weren't really wanting a party town. Night time is crazy there! Restaraunts don't even open till 7:00 and even then they're dead, usually everything picks up around 10 or so and goes all night long. You know it's a party town when they serve breakfast at your hotel from 8am till 1pm. Nobody gets up before 8.

Wandering around during the day was nice, but the wind was so excessive. It's strange, every place we've been in Greece the wind has followed us. The first day on Mykonos there was no wind and we were like "Phew, finally we can just walk around without feeling like we're going to get blown away!" But the next day, the wind found us again and it was howling like crazy!

All in all the stay in Mykonos Town was nice, it's a very picturesque place, we watched some amazing sunsets drank a few REALLY expensive drinks (you can't get a cocktail here for less than 10 euros) and just generally hung out together enjoying the last of our holidays.

Yesterday though we arrived at the Mykonos Grand Hotel just outide of Mykonos town. This was the place we splurged. We wanted the very end or our holiday to feel relaxing and special so we went with this place! We've done nothing here but sit at the pool, read books and soak in the sun (and wind dammit!). It's everything we needed before our big trip home. Our first night here we had a fantastic dinner just after sunset where we could see the blazing red sky in the background and the moon rising all in one view, it was pretty spectacular plus it was our one monthaversary of our wedding!! Can you believe it's already been a whole month!?!

Last night we went into the town Ornos and had dinner on the beach which was really nice, had some Sangria too it's rare to find so we endulged.

We have one last night here and then we begin our trek home at 10 in the morning, back to Athens where we sleep till 4 am and then catch our two stopover flight(Amsterdam and Seattle), ugh. It's weird to think that all of this will just be a memory soon. It's definately been a very amazing experience and I'm glad we've had the chance to do it. It's bittersweet, we miss our friends and family but wish we could stay forever watching sunsets and sipping wine, but all good things must come to an end so we're going to enjoy our last day lounging around have a nice dinner and begin our epic journey home again.

Love Jason and Bonnie!
