We got a tiny bit of a welcomed sleep in this morning which definitely helped us with the hang over. No one booked on the optional tour in Mykonos so our tour guide told us for those of us that were keen we will go to the beach.
About 15 of us walked with our top deck leader into town and caught a very old coach to the beach. Which cost us a few dollars to do. We walked along s few beaches and along the cliffs until we got to paradise beach.
Hashtag no filter. It was just a stunning walk. As you can see the water looked amazing. We couldn't wait to go for a swim. The walk was so hot! We were told to wear running shoes but not many of us packed them.
About an hour later we got to paradise beach which was just a beautiful as these other beaches that we walked past. The beach had a few food shops and bars along it. And the actual sand was full of deck chairs and umbrellas that you could hire for around 6 or so euros.
We found a patch of sand. The sand was made out of small rocks. Which burnt our feet as we walked down to the water.
I cannot say enough amazing things about paradise beach. If you go to Mykonos definitely go to paradise beach. It's so beautiful. We jumped in the water and it was nice and cool with hardly any waves.
We spent a few hours on the beach and we decided to head back into town and do some shopping. We walked to the bus station. Which was just a bus stop outside a convince store and paid 3 euros for the bus trip. Our tour guide before he left told us it would take us 45mins by bus back to the centre of town. No joke it took us ten minutes by bus.
We got back into town and I left the girls and began to shop and have a look around. I brought a few gifts for friends back home and had yiros for lunch.
I walked back up the hill in the heat to get to the hotel. No joke I had to keep stopping to catch my breath as it was so hot. By the time I got back to the hotel I jumped straight in the pool. And I joined a couple of the people from the tour for a sun bake.
Later that evening we ended up meeting by the pool to walk down for dinner.
A few of the people that were on the tour hired a jeep so they told me to get in and we would drive down. We squeeze 6 people in this jeep and drove down to meet the group for dinner.
By the time we found a park the sun was setting. And it was truly amazing.
We meet the group at a restaurant that overlooked the water and the sunset. We just ordered off the menu and spilt the bill.
After dinner we headed to our first club. And had a bit of a dance. It wasn't as good as the night before so a few of us decided we would go and get gelato. Best idea ever. We got our gelato and sat by the water admiring Mykonos. It was about midnight and the city was so full of life.
Traveling really opens your eyes to different situation people are in. It was midnight and there were 4-7 year olds running around begging for money. Some had pets with signs saying my dog is sick. And we couldn't see their parents anywhere.
We ended up walking back up the hill to our hotel and going to bed. Another big day tomorrow.
