Yesterday was Mikonos. White washed walls with blue trim, winding narrow little streets in the town.
After we spent a little time in the town we found a beach where we dipped into the sea - it's not really the Mediterranean here and don't have my map - but close enough. Soaked up some Grecian sun. As we found our way back to town we passed several scooter rentals..... so off we went for 12 euro for the day, not that we had a day. Fun to get out to see more than the town. This island is very arid and I think it has been the dry season for awhile. Hilly with hand built rock terraces all over the place.
Today is Katakolon where we did our only guided tour of the cruise. Quick run through the original Olympic games site and archeologic museum, had more time on our own to shop than to view the ruins! This is just one of many crumbled temples- used to house a statue that was one of the original 7 wonders of the ancient world. They built with limestone and this is a seismic zone - say no more.
I think we are getting a little weary of having things fairly scheduled, although the two couples we share a table with for dinner have not gotten off the boat at all at several ports.
Here's our dinner partners - formal night at the King and I Restaurant. Both couples are from Ireland and quite a hoot. Have had some good laughs over dinner.
Tomorrow we are at sea all day heading back to Venice where we catch the train to Rome.
