Chios to Mykonos
We are now on the boat from Chios to Mykonos. The boat is HUGE! I have never been on a cruise ship so this is so exciting! Emre and I have decided to take a boat whenever possible instead of flying—so much cheaper, tons of room, and what a view!! I’ll post some pics of the boat here.
Our night in Chios was spent drinking some bad village wine, asking for a manhattan drink and getting whiskey mixed with dry martini mix??? Never ceases to make me laugh what happens when you order a seemingly well known cocktail when in Europe—you never know what you are going to get :)
This morning I woke up just after sunrise because when I opened my eyes I saw the sun shining on the water outside our window. It had rained the entire day before so it was so beautiful to see the sun shining on the deep blue Mediterranean. And there was even a rainbow! We spent the day walking around. Saw the biggest fish for sale I’ve ever seen (see pic), and the sun actually came out through the rain for awhile. We were so happy we took a picture of us squinting. The village reminded us a bit of mountain villages in Cyprus. Once you got away from the main harbor where it looks all nice, the buildings were much older. See the picture here with Emre and the doorway that would barely fit him. Another island of short people!
Right now the boat is bouncing a bit on the waves, it is cloudy but I can see the sun breaking through in some spots. I hope some of it lasts until Mykonos. I cannot wait to see what memories we make there!
