Beach Time in Mykonos

Mykonos as it turns out is a very busy island, no matter day or night. Every morning we wake up to a new cruise ship docked near by where a different one had been just the night before. On the 26th we had our first full day on the island and our first plan was to just cruise around the island in the car we had rented. This, however, did not turn out like we thought because we found a beautiful beach by a restaurant where we ended up spending the whole day. Everyone got a good tan and then we returned to the boat.

Today (the 27th) was the day we really got to walk around town.  We saw the famous windmills and “Little Venice”, the oldest area of the Chora (main city)

We had heard that there was a pelican on Mykonos named Pete. We didn’t think we would ever see him but today we got several pictures of him when he was walking around town.

For lunch we decided to go to the Thai/Chinese place we had passed yesterday. (This was the delicious place with the tofu). Then after lunch we drove to another beach and spent some time there playing beach volleyball and relaxing before we had to return the rental car on our last night on Mykonos.
