Greek Cruise Day 1: Mykonos

Today we left our hotel for our Greek Island Cruise. We got on board and set up and relaxed for an hour before we had our safety briefing. We put on our life jackets and lined up at the side of the boat. Thank God we didn't have to jump off the boat, I was wearing my good shorts. After this the boat set off and we were on our way to Mykonos. On board it has heaps of activities happening and lots of facilities too: 2 pools, a basket ball hoop, 2 table tennis tables, a gym, heaps of bars and more. We had a great time.



Mum and Dad went all out on the boat. They bought a drinks deal for $68 for alcohol and $38 for non alcohol, it entitles you to unlimited drinks for three days. My pee has never been so clear! Even better is that breakfast, lunch and dinner are all buffets, I walked in and nearly fainted.



We went ashore and walked around Mykonos. We saw the pretty white houses and stone roads, the windmills, little Venice and lots of things that we had no idea what they were. It was very pretty but not very touristy. Mykonos is a nightclub island there wasn't 4 hours worth of tourism for a family.





We finished off the night by going to a very up class restaurant for dinner. We talked to some Canadians on our table and tried everything from Greek dips to Greek kebabs and even Greek desserts. Looking back on the day it was really good despite the lack of tourism on Mykonos, but other than that it was really good. We still have two days of our cruise and we are looking forward to them.
