Was Italy, now Greece. Day 17 Mykonos

LAnother day, another island in the enchanting land of Greece.  
We docked at 8:00 am and met our next tour guide.  After a shuttle from the "new pier" to old town we met our guide and off we went to walk the narrow streets. Absolutely fascinating and very beautiful. Here, all the structures are white but more than just the blue accent colors. We are in a very old land rich with history and a thriving tourist destination.  




Here there are not the steep cliffs as Santorini. The island is certainly not devoid of elevation. Dotted amongst the landscape are the clusters of white structures.  Very pretty little boroughs. We visited a monastery and then off to the beach. My goodness, there is some "scenery".  Oh my oh my...




The afternoon was spent at the beach. Ah, the art of relaxation.  The scenery was not bad either ... Oh, yeah the water was quite cool and most inviting. 


Back to the ship we hung over our railings to cheer the last few passengers as they boarded. A couple we really quite drunk and another couple who nearly were left behind.  




Off we sailed to our next port of call. 

Salute
