Our next stop was in Mykonos. One of the staff on the ship told us that this was his favorite stop of all. We were surprised because we had NOTHING written down to do here except maybe visit the beach. We weren't there for a huge amount of time, but I have to say, I can see why it made his list of favorites!
Mykonos is a small Greek island, and all the homes are painted white due to a covenant established by the government. It really is one of the things that makes this place so unique. It's very small and quaint, but I think it would be a fun place to hunker down for a week or two and just relax. It doesn't offer much to do that we found... other than eat, shop, and visit the beach, but as far as I'm concerned, what else is there in life? The shops can be expensive but they are fabulous! And the food was wonderful as well. We had our last gyro here and I loved every bite. We also lucked up on Cherry Coke and Dr. Pepper, which made two boys very happy!
(Can I just say how good-looking thatlittle big guy is? And where has his little baby face and body gone? Breaking my heart!)
We spent most of our time at the beach and dining. The water was beautiful. But the white sandy beaches that we are accustom to in the Gulf were nowhere to be found. Instead, the shore was a combination of small pieces of rock... not enjoyable on the feet. The temperature on Mykonos is great- with a high yearly temperature of only 84 degrees. This doesn't make ocean swimming very appealing, but laying out and soaking up the rays is perfect! Or you can build in the rocky sand like the boys!

Though we didn't do anything extremely special during our time here, it was definitely an enjoyable, relaxing day! It might not be the most kid-friendly stop, but I'd come back in a minute for a week with Jason! Farewell, Mykonos... until next time!
