Our final stop on this trip was to the island of Mykonos.
The ferry from Ios to Mykonos was mean to be about 7hrs, but due to extremely rough seas it took over 10hrs. The sunset on arrival was beautiful though. And we didnt have to get on any more ferries, others had connections all the way back to Athens, another 4+hrs!
We stayed at Mykonos Camping at Paranga beach. It was beautiful, but the beach was almost entirely covered in sunbeds and umbrellas that you had to pay for. Apparently on the 1st of July (beginning of peak season) the prices of almost everything at mykonos doubled.
The windmills at Mykonos town taken from 'Little Venice' a bunch of restaurants that are right on the water.
This is Paradise Beach, the next one around from Paranga. Pretty much all of the beaches at Mykonos are 'clothing optional'. Sean was in heaven, boobs everywhere.
Unfortunately for me only the fat, old men were naked, that is until Sean got into the spirit of things! (Notice, there aren't too many others around at 6am!)
As previously mentioned, the scooters got smaller and smaller each island. Can you imagine both of us on this one?! At one stage Shannon had to get off the back three times just so we could get up one hill! (Not that Shannon was too heavy, it was the bike!)
So...we made it back to London safely. We didn't get pickpocketed, had nothing stolen, and only left behind one power plug, due to a small amount of drinking in Biot. We have had amazing trip and awesome weather almost our entire trip (4 cold/rainy days in 3 months), since leaving Australia on 9th April. Then we arrive back in London, 15 and raining. We thought the pilot was joking when he told us the forecast...I guess we will have to get used to it.
