Mykonos Day 10. Oct 3

 I swam in the Aegean Sea. It's just my head you can see there, poking out of the water.

I did chat briefly with a couple of other bathers.
Today is our final port stop. And Mykonos is a gorgeous place. There are historical places, museums that we missed, and lots of twisty tourney tiny trails between the houses and businesses that were fascinating to walk among.
Mike celebrated his birthday on lovely Mykonos with-- what else? Ice Cream!


We saw windmills.


This rock looked like a crouching lion to me. Or a camel?

Gelato! Or ice cream. They are basically the same. 

This was the (plastic) doorstop at the ice cream shop in Mykonos.
An actual car street instead of pedestrian walks. 







My practically private beach (above,) there wasn't anybody in sight when Mike and I first got there. So I decided to change into my suit. But, after we found the place to do that, lots of people started showing up from all directions. Mike was very helpful in holding a towel just so between me and people and I managed to get dressed in my swimming suit without flashing too many people.

A tender boat. We ended up leaving port an hour earlier than previously planned because of high winds expected that night. The final night on the cruise boat was the roughest of the entire cruise. We could actually feel movement. No other time, basically, were we ever able to even tell we were on a ship, it was so smooth.



Mike was served a nice big Birthday cake slice all for him! After we already had dessert. The little chocolate sign he's holding says, "Happy". He ate the "Birthday". Haha

Moon on the water after the wind calmed down. Through the porthole in our room.
Sunset as we left Mykonos.



A private pool on the fore deck for rich passengers in the fancy suites. Who know?!?!



Taking photos of our last sunset on the ship was a popular activity.


Floating in the Aegean Sea. 

The windmills would have looked really cool with their sails intact.
