  • Ugh apparently this cough and runny nose is not just a reaction to all the smokers. Blerg. #
  • Boat delayed so late start for paros. Great view of the town from the dock though! #
  • Hello paros! Just checked in to lovely hotel and have a few hours downtime before town tour and seafood dinner :-) #
  • Church of a hundred doors. We can’t find any over 98 but the church is beautiful! #
  • Amazing swordfish dinner, i think it tasted great but so stuffed up it was hard to tell. :-( #
  • Blah. Feel pretty wretched so ditched group and post-dinner drinks for an early night. #
  • Lovely. 10 hours of sleep later, pls some breakfast and i am ready to explore the beatiful maze that is mykonos. #
  • http://twitpic.com/ikbvl - The winding streets of mykonos. #
  • Lazy afternoon on the beach after town, now for a slightly more hedonistic evening greek style- wine and dancing. #
  • Great night and hedonism kept to a bare minimum. Tomorrow we’re off to paros so one last goodnight from mykonos! #
