Greece - Day 2, Part II


After the windmills we walked into the tourist part of town. The streets were narrow and winding. The whole island is pretty small and hilly. So there weren't too many cars. Many people have scooters and motorcycles. Many tourists rent them to get around. Which would be nice since you won't have to wait for the bus. But I would be really scared to go down some of those hills on any kind of wheels.

Mykonos is famous for its windmills, cats, and pelicans. We saw lots of postcards and other things with pelicans on them. But it wasn't until almost evening that we saw some pelicans. Here I am with a pelican near a restaurant.

After we got tired of walking around, we found a really nice place to sit. It's an alley where, if to go to the end, there are stairs leading to some rocks by the ocean. Here's Xiumin sitting at the end of the alley on a rock with a really nice view.

We took many pictures from that spot, including many pictures of the sunset. The sunset was really nice. It took a while and everything was really pretty.

I had a gyro for dinner. We think it's a Turkish thing since they are a lot like doner kabebs here in Germany. It was good. They give you a choice of meat, usually chicken or pork. There's a special sauce, tomatoes, other veggies, and fries all wrapped up in pita bread.

We didn't get back to our hotel until almost midnight. We hunted around for wireless but couldn't find any. I went up to the front desk and they showed me a computer where you can use the internet for free. That was really nice. Xiumin noticed a wireless thing and it turns out that they actually do have wireless for the hotel. It was just that we were in the basement and needed up to get up to street level.
