Mykonos, Greece

A day OFF!!!  I hope that Whytney has enjoyed her day off ported at Mykonos, Greece.  Funny that she has already had a day in Mykonos!  She has not had a day off in Turkey or Croatia yet - she is trying to switch with someone in order to be able to visit these spots before the end of the next 42 days.

Some say that Mykonos has 365 churches; one for every day of the year.  Some of them are not any larger than a bathroom, but, all have their own charm.  Similarly, houses in Mykonos maintain a traditional charm.  Most a stark white will parallel staircases and vibrant multicolored doors.

Little Venice is a place where Whytney could visit in the western part of town meets the sea.  All of the buildings are built right on the edge of the water with their balconies overhanging the water.  It is believed that in the 16th and 17th century that boats would row right up to the balconies and load and unload goods. Interesting....

Hopefully, Whytney will be able to go out for a nice meal today.  Nikos Taverna is a popular place with locals where she could get a great meal at a reasonable price.  Lots of seafood and fresh vegys!  Yummy.  She would probably be eating outside since a great number of the restaurants in Mykonos are situated in garden - like settings.  Much like this:

Even if Whytney decides to stay on the ship and relax on her day off, she will be able to view this panoramic view of Mykonos from the ship's deck.  

Continuing to count down to the end of Whytney's journey with 42 days to go.  During the remaining days as she travels to different ports in Greece, Italy, France, Croatia, Turkey, and Spain; I hope that she has the time of her life.  Lives every day to experience new places and meets friends that she will have for a lifetime.

Smooth sailing to my Whytney.....LUM&L
