Time for one last gyro in mykonos and last nap on the beach before ferry to pasos. Have been warned about rough waters ahead… #
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. #

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! #

Lawnmower girl still going strong and an officially sleepless first night for me in greece. Hmm hope this doesn’t ruin 1st day! #
Found my tour group, on the ferry and ready to inject some caffeine into my system! 5 hour boat ride ahead. #
Getting to know the group on the ferry ride. Convo topics range from tennis to greek gods to how lame twitter is. Better hide my habit! #
Feeling a bit better after a quick cat nap and awesome view of passing islands on our way to mykonos #

Amazing views of mykonos windmills and town plus sunset over the water 🙂 #
Delicious greek dinner, lots of lamb featured. Now can stretch for one more drink then finally… Sleep! #
How did this turn into a (relatively) late night? Being lame and ditching still-partying group to get some much needed sleep! #
Whew, first full day in greece done and now to sleep. Overall pretty fantastic and great group. Looking forward to tomorrow! #

Woo!! From: Google Calendar Subject: Reminder: Greece Trip @ Sat Sep 19 – Tue Sep 29, 2009 #
Should be making sure I’m packed but watching Glee instead. I feel this is an effective use of my time. #
Eek, getting nervous and just want to get going! Why did I book such a late flight? #
Ok… time to go. On my way to Gatwick, fingers crossed for a smooth journey! #
Omg the easyjet queue is miserable! Seems to be moving at a decent pace though. Knock on wood. #
Not entirely sure what i am going to do with the small library of books i seem to have aquired. Six isn’t overkill, right? #
Just boarding – slowly. This whole process is such a faff, why don’t we have teleporters yet? #
On board, seated, wishing i’d tried to learn a bit more greek and ready to go! Tweet you go athens! #
Touchdown in athens, a bit nervous about getting to my hotel but sure i’ll figure it out… First- a new passport stamp! #
Whew, made it to the hostel safe and sound, now need to catch a few hours sleep before 5.30 wake up! #
Omg one of the other girls in this room is snoring so loudly it sounds like there’s a lawnmower in here! So much for my already megre 5 hours of sleep … #
