The Great Fall

We woke up to really bad weather and thunder. It was haling and it was as big as golf balls. We went down stairs for breakfast and the guy informed us that all the ferries for the day was cancelled. We were stuck on the island. No more Mykonos! ☹ We were really bummed about it, but decided to make the best of the situation. At least we got to see another island besides Santorini. We decided to leave Mykonos for next time.

We walked around town in the rain and hired a 4-wheeler. Before we got the the bike place Gizella bought a piece of land on the island. It was the funniest thing in the world! She was trying to climb over a chain/rope like thing and tripped while looking at 3 guys crossing the street coming to our side of the street. I wish we had a camera rolling to document the great fall. I was laughing so much I couldn’t even help her up and she was also laughing so much that she couldn’t even get up her self. We took lots of photo’s afterwards cause she was wet and full of sand ☺


We drove around for probably 10 minutes and took the bike back to the shop cause there was something wrong with the one wheel. We exchanged our bike for another cooler one and drove around for ages. On our mission we found a beach and a nice restaurant on the oceanfront. We had oven-baked chicken with potatoes and a traditional Greek veggie dish. After lunch we drove in the direction of Lefkos, another little town and had a beautiful view of Parikia. On our way home we stopped at a super market and bought some goodies for later. Just as we got home it started pouring again.





For dinner we went to a really nice seafood restaurant and tried the greek version of hummus. It was delicious! We also ordered a greek salad and sword fish to share. For desert the waiter gave us plain yogurt with sweet grapes on the house. Definitely something to remember to make back home.
