Mykonos, Greece

Thursday, October 31st, 2013

Halloween and we are on Mykonos again, the island where it rained sideways last time.  Today was hazy in the morning and bright later on.  We walked the two miles into town, but took a water shuttle back to the ship.  By the time we left in early afternoon, the wind was howling.  The ship was using its side thrusters to keep the ship tight to the dock, something we have not seen before.

In town, we just walked around and window shopped, walked up to the famous windmills and took pictures.  It was too wet and blustery last time here to do much of this with any degree of comfort.

The performance in the theater tonight was a musical salute to Freddie Mercury and Queen, by Steve Larkins.  The audience was really into it, and most of the audience is older than us.  Freddie is from New Zealand and there are lots of Kiwis and Aussies onboard.  There were people standing along the walls and in the stairwells.  The man could really sing.

Tomorrow will be our second visit to Kusadasi.
