First Few Days in Greece

YAMAS! Our group arrived in Athens at 3am after about 23 hours of flights and layovers. We decided to head straight to Mykanos on the earliest ferry because Athens is fairly tense at the moment. After a 5 hour ferry ride (on an extremely nice ferry) we arrived in Mykanos and to our amazement the island was absolutely gorgeous. One of my travel mates was referred by a friend to stay at the Paradise Beach Resort which is literally right on Paradise Beach. At 17.50 euros each per night, this resort was all we could ask for and more. Warm, private showers, cheap food and drinks and a 10 second walk to the beach.

Over the course of the last few days we were able to go out clubbing in downtown Mykanos and it was extremely fun! I have never danced on a bar, gotton a free shirt and multiple free drinks in Victoria. We also met a group of three girls from New York and Ecuador who were awesome to go out with. I am looking forward to seeing the pictures they took on Facebook.

Other highlights of the island was renting ATVs, seeing a rediculous (trained) Pelican walking around the boardwalk and eating like 10 Gyros. We are heading off to Santorini which is supposed to be a bit more touristy and I am hoping that we will be able to do some sight seeing or maybe go to a museum - oh and flaming shots of Ouzo of course.

I will post again soon!
