Mykonos ~ getting there...

Early Saturday morning, we grabbed the suitcase and headed down to the pier. After a week of getting up at 11am, it was a bit of a challenge to get there for 8am!

We managed to get on the ship along with all of the other vacationers ~ apparently July 1st is a popular time to go on vacation. We did however also manage to find the slowest ship on the fleet!



We left at 8:30am and sailed for a couple hours ~ the ferry stopped at a couple of islands before landing in Mykonos which gave me a taste of what I was going to be in for...




Upon arrival to Mykonos, the ferry docked at the new port. This meant that we were North of town and in need of getting to town. This is when I am really grateful that Akis does have a cell phone as there were no taxis to be had at the port. Can you imagine? I would think this would be the first place you would be!!



Our hotel was great ~ paid a fortune ~ but it was great. Located just outside of the town, we had a view of the ocean and the required pool!
