Samos/Mykonos

Hello from Greece.

After a very hectic move from Turkey to Greece we found ourselves on our first Greek island - Samos. Well we'd love to tell you of all the adventerous exploring we conducted, we're sorry to saythat Steve was very sick to his stomach and we ended up missing a day and a half on Samos. What we did see was many cafes set footsteps from the mediterranean. They were all very fancy and served starbucks style coffees (althought nearly DOUBLE the price!) and wonderful deserts including homemade Gelato!!! While Steve could not partake, Jessie assured him that the product wasn't good anyways and that she only had 3 separate servings to make sure that she just didn't have bad batches. :)

Yesterday we boarded a HUGE ferry for a 5 hour ride from Island to Island. The ship was AMAZING. It had everything on it. Multiple Cafes, big screen TVS with the news on them. We enjoyed the entire time on the deck taking in the wonderful views of passing ships and islands. We were met by our hostel owner in the Mykonos port and taken to our Hostel. We're just outside of the main town on the Island. We have a rooftop patio and a short walk down 100 steps to a beautiful beach. Last night we had a nice dinner at a sea side cafe where we watched an amazing sunset. The sky was more pink then we've ever seen. After getting caught up in some american TV movies in our room on our luxurious 13" TV, we slept in this morning and rented a car. This car is SO small. Its like a golf cart. Its actually a lot of fun to drive though as its standard and the roads are so narrow and windy. We go 30km an hour and feel like we're racing as the lack of seaside cliff guard rails makes us feel "dangerous!" :) We made great use of our "wheels" be circling the entire island today. We visited a few beaches which didn't have any tourists and went swimming. The water isn't hot, that's for sure, but once you're in its fine. Its beautifully blue and clear and its fun to see interesting fish swimming between your legs and all about. This afternoon we had a nice lunch and have been exploring the town of Mykonos. Its such a classic greek town. Every street is an amazing photo op. We have no plans for the next 2 days here but we're not too worried as we're looking forward to sleeping in and lazing on the beach. We think that we'll rent an ATV tomorrow to mix things up - that should be fun!

So, so far, so good. Minus the stomach sickness greece has been fantastic!

Thanks for reading! Bye for now!
