Mykonos

Today is our last day in Mykonos before we head out to Santorini. Here's a quick recap:

We left for our ferry around 4pm, which got us into Mykonos around 9. If you are ever taking a trip to Mykonos, make sure you have arranged for a ride! It was a madhouse. Another ferry had arrived later than expected... imagine 1000 people + 50 cars leaving two boats onto a road 4m wide. To say the infrastructure here isn't that developed would be an understatement :)
Caitlin and I finally found a cab after about an hour, and we drove down into Mykonos town. Most of the streets are so small that you can't actually drive on them. The whole town is a maze, which is really cool. It was developed that way because this was an island hide away for Pirates!

Our hotel (Hotel Philipi) is awesome--its a little place right in the middle of Mykonos town, with a beautiful garden in the patio. Location couldn't be better for the price.

Friday night we met a nice couple from DC at dinner and grabbed drinks on the water in Little Venice. Cait and I then finished the night at club down in Taxi Square. Saturday was a day of drinking at Paradise Beach. Now we're off for lunch at a gyro stand before boarding our ferry to Santorini. I'm excited because I heard the views from the ferry are great.
