Johnny Rock&Roll Goes to Sea

Day Six

Man, another beautiful Greek Isle

We really had a nice time in Mykonos.

The morning we arrived I took the shuttle over to a nice beach with clear blue water and nice restaurants.

The beach quickly filled with people, most of whom were there to sunbathe, but a few of us went into the cool Aegean Sea.

As I strolled down the beach I came upon a sight you don't ever see on a Vermont beach, a woman sunning herself on a lounge chair without a stitch of clothes on her body.

She was laying face up and obviously didn't care who was around. Some of the women were topless, but that old adage held true that people who take their clothes off are the ones who should probably have left them on.

After a few minutes the novelty wore off and we all went back to enjoying the peaceful beach and warm breeze off the ocean.

In the afternoon we went into town and found the village of Mykonos to be an enchanting place.

You could wander the maze of streets, shop to your heart's content, or relax in one of the many seaside cafes watching the people or the boats in the harbor come and go.

The homes are scattered around the hillsides and do not seem to have any orderly planning such as you would see in America. The homes are almost all white in color and each has it's own driveway from the main road without any side streets.

We continue to have glitches aboard the Grand Princess.

The internet has been out for two days, the electrical problems have continued with dimmed lighting at times and our toilets have refused to flush on occasion.

One of the members of the crew advised me that we had been adrift for 45 minutes after leaving Kusadasi, Turkey, due to an electrical failure. This morning when we headed out on a tour we could smell sewer gas at our tour gathering point in the Princess theater.

It was a very nice visit to Mykonos. I'd like to come back here someday (after I spend a decade in Santorini).
