I'm in a little internet cafe in Mykonos Greece, writing to tell you all that I won't be returning to the United States as I have decided to abandon ship here and make a living learning greek and selling jewelry to rich tourists. I'm sorry everyone....
No but really, this place is AMAZING. And absolutely beautiful... I think its probably one of my favorite cites on this cruse so far.
Let me recap quickly where we have gone and what we've done:
Day 1- IM ON A BOAT. Holy moly, this thing is a jumbo boat. About 1.5x the size of the semester at sea boat, 15 decks, 2 pools (one inside, one outside with a large TV screen continually projecting movies/shows), at least 6 bars, a night club, a 24 hour buffet, 5 dinning rooms, a casino, a SWEET gym, a spa (hammam and sauna included), a resistance pool and about 2,500 passengers. Wheew. The first day consisted of running around looking at all the eye candy (meaning things to do, not people because well... I think there are about 8 more people under the age of 65 besides ourselves), and getting used to the ship.
Day 2: Naples/Napoli. The city is a pit, and the place where the mafia was born so Dr. Brint advised us to not go into town but rather go to pompei or Capri- so we went to Pompei. Thing-I've-wanted-to-do-forever #36 CHECKED off my list. Awesome. It was so, SO cool. Back on the ship for dinner (we do a 3 course dinner everynight and I have the head waiter of our dinning room--Tudor from Romania--specially catoring to my eating needs. )
Day 3: Halloween/day at Sea. We had classes, laying out by the pool, and our formal dinner night. For Halloween I was "French" and wore heals, black skinny jeans, my striped black and white tank top, Katie's red beret that she bought in France and I drew a curly moustache and soul patch onto my face with my mascara. It was brilliant. We went to the Skywalker's Bar (the club) and did the Time Warp with a bunch of old people, then basically floor-dominated because our group of 15, two people from Canada we met and a group of 20-somethings from Texas outnumbered everyone else by 11pm. It was a good night.
Day 4: We ported in Santorini, Greece. Rode Donkies up the mountain, hiked to one end of the island, took lots of pictures, saw some churches. Beautiful.
Day 5: Rhodes, Greece. Walked around Old-town Rhodes with Adam and Erin, the Canadians. Bought some stuff, and saw pretty gardens.
Day 6: Kusadasi, Turkey. We saw EPHESES! SO cool, especially after doing Pericles for the main stage last fall. Love it and loved the Turkish Delight. The bazarrs were fun because Molly, katie and I were often called "Charlie's Angels" and offered things for "10 euro--- 5 euro! ..... FOR FREE!" haha great.
Today: Mykonos. I'm staying. Love it.
ahhhhh internet is about to run out! love to all!
