mykonos, GREECE

You guys!! This was the country I was looking forward to the very most, as you could imagine!! Who gets to go to Greece?! I was so excited, and I am sad that we didn't have more time to explore. But, the amount of time that we did have was awesome!!! We hung out with one of the couples we met on the cruise again in this city. It was really fun! We got off the boat, and it's just as you would imagine Greece to be. White buildings everywhere, blue doors, everything is so beautiful! We had a few hours, so we decided we were going to take the local bus to this beach that was recommended to us, which was about thirty minutes away from the port, it was called Elia. It was of course a gorgeous thirty minute ride, once we got there it was the most beautiful little private beach, with crystal clear water. It was perfect. As soon as we stepped into the water it was so refreshing, I wish we could have stayed there forever! We swam in the water and enjoyed being under the cutest little palm tree umbrella's  (we had to pay 7 euros each to sit on). It was worth it though, that beach was amazing!! So of course my boyfriend was playing in the water with his new GoPro, and I started getting anxious to get back to the boat, because if  we didn't get back by 2:20, they would leave us. So, we got out of the water around 1:00 pm and asked the waitress at the restaurant when the next bus back into town left. She kindly said, "the next bus leaves at 2:20". At this point I started to get a little worried! I figured we could just take a taxi back to the port, so we asked her to call a taxi for us. She then called us back over and said, "all of the taxi's are busy". We all then started to get really worried! We needed to get four people back to the cruise ship within an hour, or the boat would leave without us.  So, I decided to go into the parking lot and look for someone with a big enough car that could take us back to the town. Just as a walked into the lot there was a cute couple coming out of their car to go to the beach. I asked the lady if they spoke English, and I probably looked panicked because of the whole situation. But, she said "yes" and then I told her the situation, and she was so kind to take us back to the city! I seriously felt like it was a scene from the amazing race. We were so happy that they were kind enough to take their beach time to drive us. We then walked around the water back to the ship and made it happily back to the boat just in time for it to leave to go to the next city :) Here are some pictures from our day!
